Why this Package

This 6-Day safari tour circuit uses smart hops: Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ndutu Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, allowing you to experience diverse landscapes and wildlife encounters with minimal backtrack. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. Stay at Ikumbi Lodge in Karatu, where you can enjoy hearty meals and comfortable accommodations just a short drive from the Ngorongoro Crater gate, ensuring you maximize your time in this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Next, immerse yourself in the heart of the Serengeti at Serengeti Simba Lodge, which offers solid structures and family-friendly comfort. With its prime location, you’ll have easy access to the Seronera Valley, famous for its lion and leopard populations. Meals here are served buffet-style, featuring a mix of local and international dishes, ensuring you’re well-fed for your daily adventures.

Your journey continues to Tanzania Bush Camps Ndutu, a seasonal camp that places you right in the action during the wildebeest calving season. Here, you can enjoy simple yet hearty meals and the thrill of witnessing predator hunts up close. The rustic tents provide a cozy atmosphere, allowing you to unwind after a day of exploration.

Finally, conclude your safari at Embalakai Tented Camp near the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll enjoy a true bush experience with early access to the crater floor. Communal dinners around the campfire create a sociable atmosphere, enhancing your overall safari experience. This itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania.

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.
