Why this Package

A timing-sensitive 6-Day safari tour: explore the North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro while enjoying the comforts of upper mid-range accommodations. This itinerary is perfectly crafted for those eager to witness the Great Migration and its dramatic river crossings, especially from July to October.

Your adventure begins at Malaika Mara Luxury Camp in the North Serengeti, where you’ll find a blend of comfort and style. The camp's seasonal setup positions you near the Mara River, allowing for quick access to the migration spectacle. Enjoy hearty meals that include picnic breakfasts and communal dinners featuring a mix of Swahili and international cuisine. Your canvas tent is equipped with hardwood floors, en-suite bathrooms, and a private veranda, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration.

Next, you’ll travel to Tamba Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where polished accommodations await. This camp offers a refined dining experience with plated breakfasts and three-course dinners, ensuring you’re well-fueled for your daily game drives. The well-furnished canvas tents provide en-suite bathrooms and verandas, enhancing your safari experience. Its central location allows for flexibility in tracking both the migration herds and the resident predators that call this area home.

Your journey concludes at Tanzanice Farm Lodge near Karatu, known for its authentic farmstead atmosphere. Here, you’ll enjoy home-cooked meals made from fresh ingredients sourced directly from the farm. The intimate setting, with just a handful of en-suite rooms, offers a personal touch that many travelers appreciate. While the lodge is a bit farther from the Ngorongoro gate, the warmth and authenticity of the experience make it worthwhile.

With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned safari-goer, this tour promises unforgettable experiences amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater and the vast Serengeti.

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.
