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 observing elephants in Tarangire, the breathtaking landscapes of Ngorongoro Crater, and the vibrant wildlife of Lake Manyara, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.

Your journey begins at Baobab Central Serengeti Tented Camp, an upper mid-range seasonal camp located in the heart of the Central Serengeti. This camp is ideal for travelers seeking a balance of affordability and comfort, placing you close to Seronera’s predator hotspots. Meals here are hearty, featuring early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners, all designed to fuel your long days of safari exploration. The canvas tents come equipped with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas, ensuring a cozy retreat after a day of adventure.

Next, you will stay at Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range eco-styled property that emphasizes sustainability and personal service. With a focus on locally sourced ingredients, the meals are simple yet healthy, perfect for those heading out for early safari starts. The lodge features a small number of cottages with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, creating an intimate atmosphere surrounded by lush gardens.

Your adventure continues at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, which offers a calm and scenic base with stunning valley views. The lodge is strategically located for easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, allowing for seamless exploration of these iconic parks. Enjoy hearty, home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms that provide a welcoming retreat.

With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse ecosystems and witness the incredible wildlife, from the lions of the Serengeti to the unique birdlife of Lake Manyara. This itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to deepen their experience.

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.
