Enjoy delicious meals that include picnic breakfasts and three-course dinners, all while being close to year-round predator activity and migration herds. The well-kept canvas tents offer en-suite bathrooms and verandas, perfect for relaxing while soaking in the surrounding beauty.

Your journey concludes at Lake Manyara, where you can witness the unique sight of tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. The Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge serves as your base, providing spacious cottage rooms with stunning valley views. Enjoy hearty, home-style cooking that complements your safari schedule, with early breakfasts and picnic hampers for your adventures.

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.
