Why this Package

From the elephant corridors of Tarangire to the predator-rich grasslands of Serengeti, capped by the green oases of Lake Manyara, every day feels different in this 5-Day safari tour. Experience the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range eco-styled lodge.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of exploring, you will retreat to the Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, where you can unwind in a cozy atmosphere that emphasizes eco-consciousness and personal service.

At Heart and Soul Lodge, meals are crafted with locally sourced ingredients, featuring early breakfasts and lunch packs for your adventures. Dinner is served communally or individually, showcasing fresh vegetables and traditional Tanzanian flavors, creating a warm, home-style dining experience.

Access to Ngorongoro Crater is convenient, allowing you to catch the tail end of predator activity early in the morning.

Your next stop is the Central Serengeti, where you will stay at the Zuri Camp Serengeti. This mobile-style camp is perfect for adventurous travelers seeking proximity to wildlife. Enjoy hearty meals in a sociable atmosphere, and experience the thrill of being close to the Great Migration.

Finally, you will visit Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. After a day of exploration, you will return to your lodge in Karatu, reflecting on the incredible wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes.

This 5-Day safari is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to immerse themselves in the heart of Tanzania's natural beauty.

Mid-Range Tanzania Safari

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.
