Why this Package

Crater rhino chances and Serengeti lions bracket Tarangire elephants in this immersive 5-day safari tour, where you will explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast plains of the Serengeti. Starting from Arusha, your journey includes a mix of mid-range and luxury accommodations, ensuring a comfortable and memorable experience.

Your first night is spent at Africa Safari Rift Valley, a mid-range lodge just outside Karatu. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals served buffet-style, with early breakfasts and packed lunches for your adventures. The lodge features a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, providing a functional and relaxed atmosphere. The lodge's location allows for easy access to the Ngorongoro gate, making it a practical base for your safari.

Next, you will stay at the elegant Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge, perched on a ridge with stunning views of the highlands. This lodge offers spacious suites with fireplaces and large bathrooms, complemented by well-executed cuisine that balances international favorites with local flavors. Its proximity to both Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Gate enhances your safari logistics, allowing for optimal game viewing.

Your adventure culminates at the luxurious Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge, located near the serene Lake Magadi. This lodge provides solid-structure rooms with private verandas, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration. Enjoy buffet-style breakfasts and picnic lunches, along with plated dinners that showcase both Swahili and international dishes. The lodge’s central location ensures reliable game drives while offering a quieter base compared to the busier hubs of the Serengeti.

With multiple nights in each location, you’ll have ample time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania. This itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to deepen their experience in this remarkable region.

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.
