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.

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.
