This mid-range tented camp offers a rustic charm with essential comforts, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the heart of the Serengeti. Enjoy simple yet hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, while staying in comfortable Meru-style canvas tents.

Your final night will be spent at Ikumbi Lodge, another excellent base in Karatu.

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.
