Why this Package

Keep the driving purposeful: embark on a 5-day safari tour through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro while enjoying the comforts of a premium luxury lodge. This journey is designed for those who appreciate the finer aspects of a Tanzania safari, with exclusive accommodations and exceptional wildlife experiences.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, known for its impressive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. After a day of exploring, you’ll retreat to Crater’s Edge, a luxury lodge perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Here, you can savor gourmet meals that blend international cuisine with local Swahili flavors, all while enjoying breathtaking views from your spacious suite. The lodge features king or twin beds, fireplaces, and large en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay.

As you descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll have the advantage of early access to witness the Big 5 in their natural habitat. The lodge’s proximity allows for quick game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting lions, hyenas, and even the rare black rhino during the cooler morning hours. Dining at Crater’s Edge is a highlight, with options for private outdoor experiences under the stars, adding a touch of romance to your safari.

Your journey continues to Namiri Plains by Asilia in the Central Serengeti, where you’ll find luxurious tents designed for comfort and elegance. This exclusive camp offers exceptional opportunities for big cat sightings, particularly cheetahs, thanks to its location in a previously restricted area. Enjoy gourmet meals crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served in a communal dining tent or outdoors.

With a mix of upper mid-range and premium luxury accommodations, this safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their connection with Tanzania's stunning landscapes and wildlife. Experience the thrill of the Ngorongoro Crater and the vastness of the Serengeti while indulging in the comforts of top-tier lodges.

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.
