Why this Package

Short on time but wide in scope, this 5-Day safari tour arc touches Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro without backtracking. Experience the thrill of seeing elephants in Tarangire, the stunning landscapes of Lake Manyara, and the rich wildlife of the Serengeti, all while enjoying a mix of mid-range and luxury accommodations.

Your journey begins in Tarangire, where you’ll encounter massive herds of elephants and iconic baobabs. After a day of exploration, you'll head to Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range eco-styled property that emphasizes sustainability and personal service. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals made from locally sourced ingredients, and relax in cozy cottages designed with natural materials.

Next, you’ll visit Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, perched on a hilltop with breathtaking views. This lodge offers spacious suites with expansive decks and a resort-style pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of game drives. The lodge's proximity to Lake Manyara National Park allows for quick access to see tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife.

Your adventure continues in the Central Serengeti at Ole Serai Luxury Camp, where upscale comfort meets the heart of wildlife action. Enjoy plated meals and picnic breakfasts as you embark on thrilling game drives in search of the Big Five. The stylish tents provide a luxurious retreat after a day of exploration, with en-suite bathrooms and private decks to soak in the stunning surroundings.

Finally, your safari concludes at the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll stay at Ang’ata Tented Camp. Positioned directly on the crater rim, this camp offers early access to the crater floor, enhancing your chances of witnessing incredible wildlife moments. Meals are served in a communal setting, fostering a warm, campfire atmosphere that enhances your safari experience.

This 5-day safari is ideal for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to explore Tanzania's diverse landscapes and wildlife. With a blend of comfort and adventure, you’ll create memories that last a lifetime.

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.
