Why this Package

For first safaris, this 6-Day tour through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro offers a complete picture of Tanzania's stunning wildlife and landscapes. Experience the thrill of the Serengeti while staying at the Hippo Trails Camp, a mid-range tented camp that immerses you in the heart of the park. Located near the Seronera River Valley, this camp provides prime access to big cats and hippos, ensuring unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Your days will be filled with hearty meals, including early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners that bring guests together. The Meru-style tents are equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and rustic charm, allowing you to unwind after a day of exploration. With access to dawn and dusk drives, you'll maximize your chances of witnessing the park's incredible wildlife in action.

After your time in the Serengeti, head to the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among Karatu's coffee estates. This upper mid-range lodge offers generous cottages with fireplaces and a swimming pool, perfect for relaxation after a day of safari. Enjoy early hot and cold breakfasts, picnic lunches, and plated dinners that highlight local produce and estate coffee. The lodge's location allows for easy access to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the Big Five in their natural habitat.

Your journey begins in Arusha, where you can easily access all parks. With a mix of adventure and comfort, this safari is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to experience the best 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.
