Why this Package

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro on this immersive 5-day safari tour. This journey offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort, perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. After a day of exploring, unwind at the Country Lodge Karatu, a dependable mid-range accommodation that caters to families and couples alike. Enjoy hearty buffet meals featuring a mix of international and Tanzanian dishes, and relax in cozy cottage rooms equipped with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas.

Next, venture into the Central Serengeti, where the vast savannahs are home to an abundance of wildlife, including the majestic big cats. Stay at the Tanzania Bush Camps, which provide a rustic yet comfortable experience with Meru-style tents and communal dining under the stars. Here, you’ll savor simple but hearty meals, designed to fuel your adventurous spirit as you witness the Great Migration and other spectacular wildlife encounters.

Finally, explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Although you’ll need to travel approximately 25–30 minutes to reach the crater gate from your lodge, the experience of descending into this natural wonder is well worth it. As you embark on this safari, you’ll not only witness the incredible wildlife but also create lasting memories in some of Tanzania’s most iconic locations. This tour is ideal for those looking to balance adventure with comfort, making it a perfect choice for families and groups.

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.
