Why this Package

Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems: Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Experience the thrill of wildlife viewing in diverse habitats while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Here, you will spend a night at Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge that offers a serene atmosphere among rolling hills. Enjoy hearty meals featuring local produce, and unwind in cozy cottages with en-suite bathrooms and verandas overlooking the landscape.

Next, venture into the heart of the Central Serengeti for another night at Arukore Simba Camp. This upper mid-range tented lodge is perfectly positioned for year-round predator activity and migration herds. Relish in delicious picnic breakfasts and three-course dinners, all while staying in comfortable canvas tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas. The lodge's central location allows for easy access to the best wildlife viewing spots.

Your final stop is the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, where you will stay at the charming Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge. Nestled among coffee estates, this lodge offers spacious cottages with fireplaces and a swimming pool for relaxation after a day of exploration. The meals here include early breakfasts and generous picnic lunches, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.

With a well-planned itinerary, you will have ample opportunities for wildlife sightings, including the Big Five, and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of Tanzania. This safari is ideal for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife and natural beauty.

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.
