Why this Package

Short on time but wide in scope, this 6-Day safari tour arc touches Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara without backtracking. Experience the thrill of seeing elephants in Tarangire, the breathtaking landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, and the diverse wildlife of Lake Manyara, all while enjoying the comforts of premium luxury accommodations.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness massive herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of exploration, retreat to the exquisite Crater’s Edge, a luxury lodge perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Here, you will enjoy multi-course gourmet meals that blend international fine dining with local Swahili influences. The lodge features spacious stone-and-timber suites with panoramic views, ensuring that the beauty of the crater is always within sight.

Next, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, known for its rich biodiversity and opportunities for spotting the Big Five. The lodge's prime location allows for early morning game drives, giving you a head start on predator sightings. After your crater adventure, head to the Central Serengeti, where the Serengeti Melia Lodge awaits. This lodge offers a sophisticated design and exceptional service, along with a spectacular infinity pool overlooking the plains.

Dining at the Serengeti Melia Lodge is a gourmet experience, featuring a variety of cuisines prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Each elegantly designed room provides stunning views of the Serengeti, ensuring a luxurious stay. Finally, conclude your safari at Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife, before returning to Arusha.

This comprehensive safari is perfect for those looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes in a short time, making it ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.

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.
