Why this Package

This 6-Day safari tour trio works in most seasons—explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations. Begin your adventure in Tarangire, where you'll witness large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of game viewing, retreat to Africa Safari Rift Valley, a mid-range lodge just outside Karatu. Here, you'll find a relaxed atmosphere with comfortable rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms, simple furnishings, and verandas overlooking the Rift Valley.

Meals at Africa Safari Rift Valley are hearty and satisfying, with options ranging from buffet-style breakfasts to communal dinners focused on traditional safari fare. The lodge also provides early breakfasts and lunch boxes for your excursions to the crater or Lake Manyara.

Your journey continues to the Central Serengeti with a stay at Tanzania Bush Camps, known for their mobile-style accommodations that keep you close to the wildlife during migration months. Enjoy simple yet hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, all while immersed in the authentic bush atmosphere. The Meru-style tents come equipped with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst nature.

Finally, visit the Ngorongoro Crater, where you'll experience one of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles on earth. Although your lodge is located a bit further away, the drive to the crater gate is manageable, allowing you to witness the diverse wildlife, including the Big Five. After a day of exploration, unwind at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, where you can savor home-cooked meals made from ingredients sourced directly from the farm. The intimate, family-run atmosphere provides a unique touch, making your stay feel personal and welcoming.

With this itinerary, you'll have ample time to soak in the beauty of Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife, making it an ideal choice for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.

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.
