Book with the Right Tour Operator
You don’t need just any safari company — you need the right one.
Out of 4,000+ safari companies across East Africa, each excels at something different — some focus on budget safaris, others on mid-range or luxury trips. But a budget operator can’t deliver a seamless high-end safari — and a luxury specialist won’t fit a tighter budget.
NoMiddleman Tours matches you directly with 3–4 trusted local experts — carefully matched to your travel style and expectations. They’re chosen for their reliability, experience, and fair direct pricing, so you get the right team for your safari — not just the first one you find.

Why this package
Wildlife builds day by day in this 5-Day safari tour route—Tarangire herds, crater Big 5, flamingo fringes at Manyara and cat-rich Seronera. Experience the wonders of Tarangire, the stunning Lake Manyara, the iconic Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness massive elephant herds roaming among the iconic baobabs. After a night at the Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma, you’ll enjoy hearty meals and comfortable thatched safari rooms with en-suite bathrooms, all while being close to the migration routes.
Next, you’ll explore Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. Here, you’ll stay at the Farm of Dreams Lodge, a resort-style lodge with spacious rooms overlooking tropical gardens, and a large swimming pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
Your journey continues to the Serengeti, where the thrill of spotting big cats awaits. The Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge offers a cozy atmosphere with rustic tents and communal dining experiences, allowing you to connect with fellow travelers around a campfire.
Finally, you’ll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a chance to see the Big 5 in their natural habitat. With early departures from your lodge, you’ll maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.
This 5-day itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, providing a balanced mix of adventure and comfort. Enjoy the diverse landscapes and rich wildlife of Tanzania while creating unforgettable memories.
