The lodge emphasizes local produce in its meals, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.

Finally, return to the Central Serengeti for another night at Friends Serengeti Tented Camp.

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.
