Why this Package

Crater rhino chances and Serengeti lions bracket Tarangire elephants in this immersive 5-day safari tour. Experience the diverse landscapes and wildlife of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast expanses of the Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges.

Your adventure begins at Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge nestled among farmland and rolling hills. Here, you can savor hearty meals featuring fresh produce from local farms, served in a communal dining hall. The lodge offers cozy cottages with en-suite bathrooms and stunning views from your private veranda, creating a tranquil atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

As you set out for your safari, the location of Karatu Simba Lodge allows for convenient access to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness incredible wildlife sightings, including the majestic Big Five. After your time in Ngorongoro, you will head to the Serengeti Classic View Camp, where you’ll be surrounded by the heart of predator action. Enjoy simple yet satisfying meals and comfortable canvas tents, ensuring you remain close to nature while maximizing your game-viewing opportunities.

On this journey, you’ll spend a night in Tarangire, a day in the Serengeti, and another night in Ngorongoro, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the unique ecosystems of each park. This itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, offering a balanced mix of adventure and relaxation.

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.
