Why this Package

Balance your 6-Day safari tour between resident action, seasonal spectacle and a high-yield crater descent. This adventure takes you through the stunning landscapes of Ndutu Serengeti, the iconic Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy the comforts of well-appointed lodges that cater to both mid-range and upper mid-range travelers.

Your journey begins at Malaika Ndutu Luxury Camp, a seasonal camp nestled in the Ndutu plains, open during the calving season from December to March. This camp is perfect for those who wish to witness one of Africa's greatest wildlife spectacles. Meals here include early teas and picnic breakfasts, allowing you to maximize your time in the field while tracking predators in the area. The spacious canvas tents come equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.

Next, you will spend a night at Zuri Camp Serengeti, a mobile-style camp located in the Central Serengeti. This camp is designed for adventurous travelers who prioritize proximity to wildlife over luxury. Meals are hearty and communal, creating a sociable atmosphere among guests. The simple canvas tents offer a rustic safari feel, with en-suite bathrooms and basic furnishings, ensuring a genuine connection to the wild.

Your safari culminates with a visit to Farmhouse Valley Adventure on the outskirts of Karatu. This mid-range lodge offers a polished atmosphere with spacious chalet-style rooms and beautiful gardens. Enjoy full-board dining with locally sourced produce, including options for early breakfasts and packed lunches for your daily adventures. While the lodge is a bit farther from the Ngorongoro Crater, it provides a comfortable base for exploring the area.

With this itinerary, you’ll not only experience the thrill of the Serengeti and the stunning views of the Ngorongoro Crater, but also have the chance to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, making this a remarkable safari 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.
