Why this Package

A three-stop 5-Day safari tour: explore the wonders of Tarangire, experience the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and witness the iconic wildlife of the Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges. Begin your adventure at Africa Safari Rift Valley, located just outside Karatu, where you can unwind in a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms and cozy furnishings. The lodge offers hearty meals served buffet-style, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily excursions.

On your journey, you will spend a night in the heart of Tarangire, known for its majestic elephants and stunning baobab trees. Afterward, venture to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can enjoy the thrill of spotting the Big Five in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Staying at Ikumbi Lodge provides you with a comfortable base, featuring modern rooms with private balconies overlooking lush gardens, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploration.

Your safari continues into the Central Serengeti, where you will stay at a mobile camp, such as Tanzania Bush Camps, designed to place you right in the midst of the action during migration seasons. Here, you can enjoy simple yet hearty meals, communal dining experiences, and the authentic feel of a bush camp. This unique setup allows for proximity to wildlife hotspots, enhancing your chances of witnessing the spectacular Great Migration.

With early departures each day, you will maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities, ensuring you capture the essence of Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. This tour is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking for a well-rounded experience.

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.
