Your adventure begins at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu, where you can unwind in cozy cottage-style rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms and verandas.

Full-board meals are served in the mess tent, allowing you to savor hearty dishes while enjoying the campfire ambiance.

Your safari continues in the Central Serengeti at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp, where spacious canvas tents offer en-suite facilities and stunning views of the plains. Here, you can indulge in plated dinners featuring both local and international cuisine, while the camp's location ensures you’re never far from the action of big cat sightings and the Great Migration.

With one night in Tarangire, one in the Central Serengeti, and one in Ngorongoro, this itinerary allows for deeper exploration and relaxation, maximizing your chances of witnessing the incredible wildlife that Tanzania has to offer. Whether you're captivated by the sight of elephants in Tarangire or the dramatic landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, this safari 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.
