Why this Package

Elephant corridors meet crater mornings and Central big-cat country in a neat 5-Day safari tour loop through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. This adventure is perfect for both first-time travelers and seasoned safari-goers, offering a blend of wildlife experiences and comfortable accommodations.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness massive herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of exploration, you’ll retreat to the Country Lodge Karatu, a reliable mid-range option that caters to families and groups. Enjoy hearty buffet meals featuring a mix of international and Tanzanian dishes, and relax in cozy cottage rooms equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas overlooking lush gardens.

Next, head to the Central Serengeti, where the wildlife action is year-round. Here, you’ll stay at Osinon Camps and Lodges, strategically located for easy access to predator sightings. The camp offers simple yet comfortable canvas tents with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring you have a restful night after a day of thrilling game drives. Meals are communal and hearty, fostering a social atmosphere among guests.

Your final stop is the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll have the chance to see the Big 5 in one of the world’s most unique ecosystems. The crater floor is teeming with wildlife, including flamingos and the majestic tuskers of the region. After a day of exploration, return to your lodge for a relaxing evening.

This 5-day safari not only immerses you in Tanzania's stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife but also provides a comfortable base to unwind after each adventure.

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.
