Why this Package
For first safaris, this 6-Day safari tour through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro offers a complete picture of Tanzania's stunning wildlife and landscapes. Experience the thrill of game drives in Tarangire, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs, before heading to the heart of the Serengeti, where you can witness the Great Wildebeest Migration and the resident big cats. Your journey concludes at the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich biodiversity.
During your stay, you'll enjoy the comforts of Tamba Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where well-furnished canvas tents provide a rustic luxury feel. Each tent features en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, allowing you to soak in the surrounding wilderness. Meals are plated and thoughtfully prepared, featuring both Swahili and international dishes, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily adventures.
In Ngorongoro, unwind at the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, set on a breezy slope above Karatu. This lodge offers hearty, home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration. Its location makes it practical for alternating between the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, both just a short drive away.
With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse ecosystems and wildlife behaviors, enhancing your overall safari experience. From watching the sunrise over the baobabs in Tarangire to the breathtaking views from the Ngorongoro Crater, this tour is designed for those who seek both adventure and comfort.

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.
