6-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Ndutu Under Canvas
Why this Package
This 6-Day safari tour route keeps distances reasonable while exploring Ndutu Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, offering a captivating blend of wildlife experiences and stunning landscapes. Begin your adventure at Ndutu Under Canvas, a luxury seasonal camp that provides an authentic mobile tented experience during the wildebeest calving season. Here, you will enjoy flexible meal options, including picnic breakfasts and plated three-course dinners, all while being close to the thrilling predator-prey action that Ndutu is famous for.
Next, you will head to the Dove Serengeti Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you can indulge in a boutique atmosphere with classic Meru-style safari tents. Each tent features en-suite bathrooms and a cozy lounge/dining area, perfect for unwinding after a day of game drives. The camp's location near Seronera ensures that you are always in the heart of the action, with ample opportunities for wildlife sightings.
Your journey culminates at the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, perched on a breezy slope above Karatu. This mid-range lodge offers spacious cottage rooms with stunning valley views, ideal for relaxing after exploring the Ngorongoro Crater. The lodge's hearty, home-style cooking will keep you fueled for your adventures, making it a perfect base to alternate between the Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara parks.
With multiple nights in each location, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant ecosystems of Tanzania, creating unforgettable memories amidst the breathtaking landscapes 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.
