Why this Package

Keep the pace lively over this 5-Day safari tour: explore the wonders of Tarangire, witness the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Manyara, marvel at the wildlife in the Central Serengeti, and descend into the iconic Ngorongoro Crater. This adventure is perfect for both first-time travelers and seasoned safari-goers, offering a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations that provide comfort without compromising on experience.

Your journey begins at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu, a budget-friendly base designed with sustainability in mind. The lodge offers simple yet cozy accommodations with rustic charm, featuring spacious tents and cottages that overlook the scenic highlands. Enjoy hearty meals prepared with local ingredients, with breakfast served early for your safari excursions and dinner showcasing traditional Tanzanian dishes.

As you venture into Tarangire National Park, known for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs, you will be captivated by the vibrant wildlife. After a day of exploration, return to the lodge for a peaceful night under the stars.

Next, head to Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife, before making your way to the Central Serengeti. Here, you will stay at Thorntree Camp Serengeti, where you can enjoy hearty meals and comfortable Meru tents that provide a functional yet immersive safari experience. The camp's prime location allows for excellent game viewing opportunities, ensuring you make the most of your time in this wildlife-rich area.

Your adventure culminates with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the incredible biodiversity and perhaps spot the Big Five. With a slight logistical advantage from your lodge, you can maximize your time in this UNESCO World Heritage site, descending into the crater floor early to catch the morning wildlife activity.

This 5-day itinerary not only allows for diverse wildlife encounters but also provides a comfortable and authentic experience, making it an ideal choice for families and those seeking a deeper connection with Tanzania's stunning landscapes.

Book with the Right Tour Operator

Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
