Why this Package

This 5-Day safari tour flows through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes and wildlife experiences. Begin your adventure in the iconic baobab-studded plains of Tarangire, where you may encounter massive elephant herds and other wildlife. Then, explore the lush forests of Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife.

Your journey continues to the heart of the Serengeti, where the chance to witness the Great Migration and the majestic big cats awaits. Finally, immerse yourself in the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich biodiversity.

Throughout your safari, enjoy comfortable stays at well-chosen lodges.

The lodge offers modern rooms with private bathrooms, ensuring a restful night after your adventures.

With its panoramic views and contemporary design, this lodge provides a delightful setting for relaxation. Enjoy meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and unwind in spacious rooms that come with private plunge pools.

Your safari culminates at the Ngorongoro Farm House, where you’ll be enveloped in the charm of a colonial coffee plantation. This lodge features spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms and private terraces overlooking lush gardens. Dining here emphasizes fresh produce from the lodge’s own farm, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.

With this itinerary, you’ll have ample time to explore each park, enhancing your chances of spotting the diverse wildlife that Tanzania has to offer. The combination of comfortable lodges and varied landscapes makes this safari ideal for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their wildlife experience.

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.
