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. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while staying at carefully selected lodges that balance comfort and adventure. Begin your journey at Jackals Lair Tented Camp in the heart of the Central Serengeti, where you’ll enjoy long, flexible game drives amidst the iconic landscapes. This upper mid-range camp offers a genuine safari experience with attentive hosting, delicious meals, and cozy Meru-style tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers.

As you explore, savor hearty meals including early breakfasts, picnic lunches, and plated dinners featuring seasonal produce. The camp’s location allows for prime game viewing, with lions, leopards, and elephants frequently spotted in the area. After a day of adventure, unwind around the nightly campfire, sharing stories of the day’s encounters.

Your next stop is Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, a value-minded mid-range base set on a breezy slope above Karatu. Here, you’ll find spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces and stunning valley views. The lodge’s relaxed atmosphere is perfect for couples and small groups looking to recharge after a day of exploring the Ngorongoro Crater and nearby Lake Manyara, both just a short drive away.

Finally, your adventure concludes back in Arusha, where you can reflect on the incredible sights and experiences of your Tanzania safari. This journey is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers seeking a deeper connection with Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.

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.
