Why this Package

Elephant corridors meet crater mornings and Central Serengeti's big-cat country in a neat 5-Day safari tour loop. Experience the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.

Your adventure begins at the eco-friendly Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, where sustainability meets comfort. With a focus on locally sourced ingredients, meals include early breakfasts and packed lunches for your crater or Manyara safaris, along with communal dinners that highlight fresh Tanzanian flavors. The lodge features cozy cottages with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, set in a tranquil garden atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

After your stay in Karatu, you’ll head to the Signature Serengeti Tented Safari Camp, a seasonal camp that offers an intimate experience in the heart of the Central Serengeti. Enjoy hearty picnic breakfasts and packed lunches, ideal for long game drives, and gather around for communal dinners under the stars. The Meru-style tents provide comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, allowing you to connect with nature while still enjoying essential comforts.

Your final night will be spent at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among lush coffee estates. This upper mid-range lodge offers spacious cottages with fireplaces and a swimming pool, ensuring a relaxing end to your safari. With easy access to the Ngorongoro Gate, you can maximize your time in this UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes.

With this itinerary, you’ll not only witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania but also enjoy the unique experiences each lodge offers. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning for another adventure, this 5-day safari provides a perfect blend of wildlife viewing and comfort.

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.
