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 a mix of mid-range and luxury accommodations. Begin your adventure at Embalakai Tented Camp near the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll benefit from early access to the crater floor, allowing you to witness lions and hyenas in action during the prime hours of dawn. Meals are hearty and served in a communal setting, enhancing the authentic bush experience.

Your journey continues to Farmhouse Valley Adventure, a mid-range lodge on the outskirts of Karatu. This lodge offers spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms and beautiful views of the surrounding gardens. The full-board dining experience features locally sourced produce, ensuring fresh and flavorful meals. Although it takes a bit longer to reach the Ngorongoro gate, the comfort and ambiance make it a great base for your safari.

Next, immerse yourself in the heart of the Serengeti at Thorntree Camp, where you’ll enjoy prime access to predator-rich areas. The camp provides a cozy atmosphere with hearty meals and comfortable Meru tents, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure. Finally, your safari concludes with a stay at Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp, where canvas tents offer an intimate experience with the wilderness. With early access to the crater, you’ll be well-positioned for incredible wildlife sightings.

This safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to explore the diverse landscapes and wildlife of Tanzania.

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.
