Why this Package

From Tarangire’s elephants to Central Serengeti’s open plains and North Serengeti’s dramatic riverbanks, this tour covers it all. Over five days, you will explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the wildlife-rich valleys of the Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking riverbanks of the North Serengeti. Your journey begins in Arusha, where you will be welcomed before heading to your first stop, Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu. This lodge is known for its dependable quality and comfortable accommodations, making it a favorite among travelers.

At Bougainvillea, you can enjoy hearty buffet-style meals, including packed lunches and communal dinners, all served in a relaxed atmosphere. The cottage-style rooms come equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. Its location allows for easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, making it ideal for those wanting to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife.

Your adventure continues in the Central Serengeti at Kati Kati Tented Camp, where you’ll have unbeatable access to the park’s wildlife. The camp offers basic yet hearty meals and simple Meru-style tents that ensure comfort while keeping you close to nature. With early morning game drives, you’ll be out on the plains before the crowds, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Cats and other wildlife.

As you move to the North Serengeti, you will stay at Tanzania Bush Camps Kogatende, a seasonal camp designed for migration chasers. Here, you’ll experience the thrill of witnessing the Great Migration and the dramatic river crossings. Meals are straightforward but hearty, and the Meru-style tents provide a rustic yet comfortable setting.

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.
