Why this Package

This route reveals the contrasts of northern Tanzania: Tarangire’s elephants, Central Serengeti’s vast predator stage, and Lake Manyara’s Rift Valley forests. Over five days, immerse yourself in the incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes of these iconic parks while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, known for its impressive herds of elephants and ancient baobab trees. After a day of game drives, you will retreat to Ikumbi Lodge in Karatu, where hearty meals await. The lodge features modern rooms with private bathrooms and lovely garden views, providing a cozy atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploration.

As you continue to the Central Serengeti, stay at Tukaone Hembe Serengeti Camp, a mid-range tented camp designed for those seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort. Here, enjoy delicious communal dinners and the thrill of being close to the action, with easy access to prime wildlife viewing areas. The rustic charm of the camp, combined with its strategic location, ensures you won’t miss the excitement of predator sightings.

Finally, visit Lake Manyara, famous for its diverse birdlife and tree-climbing lions. The park's lush forests and scenic landscapes provide a perfect backdrop for your safari experience. With packed lunches arranged for your daily excursions, you can savor the beauty of the park at your leisure.

This safari is ideal for both first-time travelers and those returning to explore more of Tanzania’s rich wildlife. Experience the thrill of the wild in a comfortable setting, making unforgettable memories along the way.

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.
