Why this Package

Go broad in this 5-day safari tour: explore the diverse landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the scenic Lake Manyara. Enjoy the comforts of premium luxury lodges that enhance your safari experience with exquisite dining and personalized service.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its majestic elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of wildlife viewing, retreat to Crater’s Edge, a luxury lodge perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Here, you can savor multi-course gourmet meals that blend international flavors with local Swahili influences, all while enjoying stunning views of the crater.

Each spacious suite at Crater’s Edge features panoramic crater-facing decks, king or twin beds, and luxurious en-suite bathrooms. With private butler service, every detail is tailored to ensure your comfort. The lodge's proximity to the crater gate allows for early morning game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five, including lions and the elusive black rhino.

Next, venture into the Central Serengeti, where you will stay at Namiri Plains by Asilia. This exclusive camp offers a unique opportunity for big cat sightings, particularly cheetahs, in a less-traveled area of the park. Enjoy gourmet dining experiences featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served in a communal dining tent or under the stars.

Afterward, you will explore the Ngorongoro Crater from Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp, located just a short drive from the crater entrance. This luxurious camp offers spacious suites with breathtaking views and a cozy lounge area for relaxation after a day of exploration. Meals can be enjoyed on the terrace under the vast African sky, adding a magical touch to your dining experience.

Finally, conclude your safari at Lake Manyara, where you can witness tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. Each park offers unique wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes, making this itinerary perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking for a comprehensive experience.

With a blend of luxury and adventure, this safari promises unforgettable memories amidst Tanzania's natural beauty.

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.
