Why this Package

This 5-Day safari tour trio works in most seasons—herds in Tarangire and residents in Central Serengeti hold the line, while the stunning Ngorongoro Crater offers a unique wildlife experience. Begin your adventure in the heart of Tanzania, where you will enjoy the comforts of a mid-range eco-styled property like Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu. This intimate lodge emphasizes sustainability and personal service, making it ideal for travelers who appreciate a greener approach to their safari.

Your journey starts with a night in Tarangire, famous for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. Afterward, you will explore the wildlife-rich plains of the Central Serengeti, where you can witness the great migration and spot big cats in their natural habitat. Finally, a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater allows for incredible views and opportunities to see the Big Five in one of the world's most unique ecosystems.

At Heart and Soul Lodge, meals are crafted with locally sourced ingredients, offering a taste of Tanzanian flavors. Enjoy hearty breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a warm, family-like atmosphere. The lodge features a small number of cottages with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, allowing you to unwind in a quiet, green setting after a day of exploration.

With easy access to the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, Heart and Soul Lodge is perfectly positioned for your safari adventures. The drive to the Ngorongoro gate is approximately 25–30 minutes, ensuring you can maximize your time in the park. This blend of comfort, accessibility, and eco-consciousness makes it a great choice for both first-time and repeat safari-goers.

Experience the thrill of game drives in Tarangire and the Serengeti, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Tanzania. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or on your first safari, this tour promises unforgettable memories.

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.
