Why this Package

Baobab silhouettes to crater lakes to kopje ridgelines—this 5-day safari takes you through Tarangire, the Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, offering a balanced mix of adventure and comfort. Begin your journey in the iconic Tarangire National Park, where you’ll experience the thrill of spotting elephants and other wildlife amidst stunning landscapes. After a night in Tarangire, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti, known for its rich wildlife and the famous migration routes, staying at the Tanzania Bush Camps. These seasonal camps provide a rustic yet authentic bush experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the heart of nature.

Your meals will be hearty and communal, featuring local dishes that reflect the flavors of Tanzania. Enjoy early morning teas and picnic breakfasts to maximize your time in the parks. The Meru-style tents at Tanzania Bush Camps come equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a shared mess tent for evening gatherings around the campfire.

Finally, you’ll spend a night at Embalakai Tented Camp near the Ngorongoro Crater. This camp offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas that overlook the forest. The location is ideal, providing quick access to the crater floor, where you can witness the stunning wildlife, including the Big Five, at dawn. Meals here are served in a communal setting, enhancing the social experience of your stay.

With a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations, this safari is perfect for both first-timers and those returning to explore more of Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes. The combination of multiple nights in each area allows for deeper exploration and relaxation, ensuring you don’t miss any of the incredible wildlife encounters.

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.
