Why this Package

Short on time but wide in scope, this 5-Day safari tour arc touches Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara without backtracking. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of premium luxury accommodations.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Here, you will stay at Oliver's Camp, a classic tented camp that offers a genuine safari experience. With spacious ensuite tents and a communal dining atmosphere, you can share stories over delicious meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Next, journey to the Central Serengeti, where the vast savannahs are home to the great migration and an abundance of big cats. The luxury of your stay will be complemented by guided game drives led by highly experienced guides, ensuring you witness the best of this iconic landscape.

Afterward, you will ascend to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, Crater’s Edge awaits, perched on the rim with breathtaking views. Enjoy gourmet meals featuring local flavors, and unwind in spacious suites that offer panoramic views of the crater. The lodge's prime location allows for early access to the crater floor, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five, including the elusive black rhino.

Your final stop is Lake Manyara, where you will stay at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge. This hilltop lodge provides stunning panoramas and resort-style amenities, including a striking infinity pool. The lodge's proximity to the park ensures quick access to its diverse wildlife, including tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife.

Throughout your journey, savor the flavors of Tanzania with multi-course meals and enjoy the luxury of private service. This itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife and 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.
