Why this Package

A wider Serengeti story: embark on a 6-day safari adventure through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges that offer a blend of adventure and relaxation.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. Here, you will experience the thrill of game drives, spotting wildlife in their natural habitat. After a night at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a charming family-run property, you will savor hearty home-cooked meals made from fresh, local ingredients, enhancing your safari experience.

Next, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti, where you’ll stay at Hippo Trails Camp. This mid-range tented camp offers a unique immersion into the park, with Meru-style tents featuring en-suite bathrooms and a communal dining experience that highlights local flavors. The camp’s location near the Seronera River Valley provides prime access to view big cats and hippos, especially during dawn and dusk when they are most active.

As you continue to the West Serengeti, the landscape transforms, offering different wildlife viewing opportunities. Finally, your adventure culminates at the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife, including the Big Five. The crater’s unique ecosystem ensures excellent game viewing, making it a highlight of your safari.

With a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations, this safari is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to explore Tanzania’s stunning landscapes and rich wildlife. Enjoy the balance of comfort and adventure as you create unforgettable memories in one of the world’s most iconic safari destinations.

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.
