Why this Package

This 7-day safari tour flows through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, offering a diverse experience without excessive travel. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobab trees. As you explore the park, enjoy the rustic charm of Karatu Simba Lodge, where hearty meals are served in a communal dining hall, emphasizing local flavors and fresh ingredients.

After a night in Tarangire, journey to the Central Serengeti, where the thrill of wildlife encounters awaits. Stay at Tanzania Bush Camps, which provide a mobile camping experience that places you right in the heart of the action during migration months. Here, enjoy simple yet hearty meals and the authentic atmosphere of the African bush.

Your next stop is the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife. While you may not stay at a rim lodge, the access from Karatu Simba Lodge allows for early morning descents into the crater, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five.

Finally, unwind at Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge, where you can savor panoramic views of the Rift Valley and indulge in delightful meals made from locally sourced ingredients. Each room features a private plunge pool, offering a perfect retreat after a day of exploration.

This itinerary is ideal for travelers seeking a well-rounded experience, combining adventure with comfortable accommodations. Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning for more, this safari promises unforgettable memories amidst Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes.

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.
