Why this Package

Keep the pace lively over this 5-Day safari tour: explore the wonders of Tarangire, experience the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and enjoy the vastness of the Central Serengeti, all while soaking in the stunning views of Lake Manyara. This journey is designed for those who appreciate a mix of comfort and adventure, staying at lodges that blend mid-range and luxury experiences.

Your adventure begins at Country Lodge Karatu, a reliable choice for families and groups, offering hearty buffet meals and cozy cottage rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Located conveniently for both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, it’s an ideal base for your safari explorations.

Next, you’ll retreat to the serene Kitela Lodge, nestled among lush coffee fields. Here, you can enjoy plated dinners made from local produce and unwind in cottage-style suites that overlook beautiful gardens. The lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro Gate allows for early morning departures, maximizing your time in the crater.

Finally, immerse yourself in the wild at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp. This camp offers a down-to-earth safari experience with simple yet hearty meals and Meru-style canvas tents. Its central location in the Serengeti ensures you’re always close to the action, making it perfect for wildlife enthusiasts.

With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have the opportunity to truly soak in the beauty of Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife, creating unforgettable memories of elephants, lions, and the stunning Rift Valley vistas.

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.
