Why this Package

Grumeti’s May–Jun pulse fits neatly after crater and Central time in a 5-Day safari tour plan. Explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Central Serengeti, the wilds of West Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges.

Your adventure begins at Burunge Tented Lodge, nestled in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area. This lodge offers a serene atmosphere with sunset decks, a pool, and spacious tented rooms that provide a perfect retreat after a day of exploration. Meals are hearty and dependable, featuring buffet breakfasts, well-packed picnic lunches, and relaxed dinners under the stars, creating a family-friendly environment.

As you venture into Tarangire, known for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs, you’ll appreciate the lodge's proximity to the park, allowing for early morning drives when wildlife is most active. The lodge's access to the park ensures you can witness the beauty of the landscape and its inhabitants without the crowds.

Next, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti, where Hippo Trails Camp awaits. This mid-range tented camp is strategically located near the Seronera River Valley, providing excellent opportunities to see big cats and hippos. The communal dining experience and hearty meals enhance the camaraderie among guests, making it a memorable stay.

Your journey continues to the West Serengeti, where the vast plains offer a chance to see the Great Migration in action, followed by a night at Embalakai Tented Camp near the Ngorongoro Crater. This camp's rustic charm and intimate atmosphere make it a perfect base for exploring the crater, with early access to the wildlife-rich floor.

With this itinerary, you’ll not only witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania but also enjoy the comforts of mid-range lodges that cater to your needs. The combination of diverse landscapes and rich wildlife experiences makes this safari an ideal choice for both first-timers and seasoned travelers.

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.
