Why this Package

For first‑timers, this 5-Day safari tour across Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara offers a complete northern sampler in one swing. Experience the thrill of wildlife sightings in Tarangire, where massive elephant herds roam beneath iconic baobab trees, and explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, renowned for its rich biodiversity and Big 5 sightings.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, where you will spend a night at the Signature Serengeti Tented Safari Camp. This upper mid-range seasonal camp provides an intimate atmosphere, allowing you to connect with nature while enjoying comfortable Meru-style tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Meals are hearty and communal, perfect for sharing stories of the day's adventures.

Next, you will head to the Central Serengeti for another night, where the wildlife action is at its peak. The camp's location ensures easy access to the best game drives, including opportunities to witness the Great Migration, if the timing is right. Enjoy picnic breakfasts and packed lunches that keep you energized for full days of exploration.

Your safari continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will stay at the Ang’ata Tented Camp. Positioned on the crater's rim, this camp offers early access to the crater floor, enhancing your chances of spotting predators in their prime. Meals are served in a cozy mess tent, fostering a communal atmosphere that enhances your safari experience.

Finally, you will visit Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. Your stay at Martina’s Retreat in Karatu provides a budget-friendly yet comfortable base, with simple meals and a welcoming environment. The lodge's proximity to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara ensures you maximize your time in these stunning parks.

Throughout your journey, you will enjoy the diverse landscapes and wildlife that make Tanzania a premier safari destination. This itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to experience the best of northern 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.
