Why this Package

Fold crater‑floor density into a 6-Day safari tour that spans the Ndutu Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. This adventure is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, offering a unique chance to witness the incredible Great Wildebeest Migration and the calving season in Ndutu.

Your journey begins at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu, a budget-friendly base that emphasizes sustainability and community.

The lodge offers rustic yet comfortable accommodations, including spacious tents and cottages with cozy beds, private baths, and scenic verandas. With a peaceful atmosphere and thoughtful touches, it’s a great start to your safari.

Next, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti and stay at Serengeti Pure Tented Camp, where you’ll have direct access to prime wildlife viewing areas. This mid-range camp is designed for those who prioritize wildlife immersion over luxury, featuring Meru-style tents with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms. Meals are simple but filling, perfect for fueling your long game drives.

Your final stop is the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll experience the breathtaking views and diverse wildlife.

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.
