Why this Package

A three-stop 5-Day safari tour: explore the wonders of Tarangire, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the iconic Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented lodge. This journey is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to experience the rich wildlife and stunning landscapes of Tanzania.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive elephant herds and striking baobab trees. Here, you will stay at the Arukore Simba Camp, an upper mid-range tented lodge that combines comfort with a rustic charm. Enjoy hearty meals that include early tea, picnic breakfasts, and plated dinners featuring local flavors. The canvas tents offer king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and verandas perfect for evening relaxation.

Next, you will venture into the heart of the Central Serengeti, where the Arukore Simba Camp's central location ensures you are close to year-round predator activity and migration herds. The lodge's inviting atmosphere and well-kept facilities, including a lounge and dining tent, enhance your safari experience.

Finally, immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater. While staying at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, you will enjoy spacious cottages nestled among coffee estates, complete with fireplaces and a swimming pool. This lodge offers a perfect balance of comfort and accessibility, making it easy to explore the crater and nearby Lake Manyara.

With multiple nights in each park, you will have ample time to witness the diverse wildlife and stunning scenery, creating unforgettable memories. Whether you're captivated by the sight of a lion pride or the vibrant colors of the sunset over the savannah, this safari promises an enriching 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.
