5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Bougainvillea Lodge
Why this Package
A balanced 5-Day safari tour plan: explore the wonders of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges. Begin your adventure in Tarangire, where you can witness majestic elephants roaming beneath iconic baobabs. Following this, experience the diverse landscapes and birdlife of Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant avian population.
As you journey to the Central Serengeti, you will stay at Tamba Tented Camp, an upper mid-range camp that offers a polished experience close to the action of the plains. Here, enjoy plated meals featuring local and international cuisine, while your well-furnished canvas tent provides a cozy retreat after a day of game drives. This central location allows for flexibility in tracking the great migration or observing the resident big cats.
Your safari concludes at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among lush coffee estates. This upper mid-range lodge provides generous cottages with en-suite bathrooms and a welcoming atmosphere. Indulge in early breakfasts and picnic lunches that fuel your explorations of the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the incredible density of wildlife, including the Big Five.
The combination of these lodges ensures a comfortable and memorable experience, making it ideal for both first-time and repeat safari-goers. With easy access to all parks, you can immerse yourself in the rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery of Tanzania.

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.
