Why this Package

Short on time but wide in scope, this 7-Day safari tour arc touches Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara without backtracking. Experience the thrill of seeing elephants in Tarangire, the breathtaking landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, and the diverse wildlife of Lake Manyara, all while enjoying the comforts of upper mid-range lodges.

Your journey begins at Rivertrees Country Lodge, a tranquil retreat on the outskirts of Arusha, where you can unwind in beautifully appointed cottages surrounded by lush gardens. Enjoy hearty meals that celebrate local flavors, with options for al fresco dining by the river. After a restful night, you’ll set off for Tarangire National Park, famous for its iconic baobabs and large elephant herds. Here, you’ll have the chance to witness these magnificent creatures up close.

Next, head to Jackals Lair Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you’ll be perfectly positioned for early morning game drives. The camp offers authentic canvas comfort, with en-suite bathrooms and a cozy mess tent for communal dining. Your days will be filled with thrilling wildlife encounters, including lions and leopards, as you explore the rich ecosystems of the Serengeti.

Afterward, you’ll visit the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among coffee estates in Karatu. Here, you can relax in spacious cottages with fireplaces and enjoy meals featuring fresh, local produce. The lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater allows for easy access to this UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can witness the Big 5 in their natural habitat.

Your adventure culminates at Ngorongoro Farm House, where you can savor the plantation-style atmosphere and enjoy the lodge’s amenities, including a swimming pool and expansive gardens. This lodge provides a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding areas, ensuring you make the most of your safari experience.

With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have ample time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania. This itinerary is perfect for travelers seeking a well-rounded safari experience, combining adventure with relaxation.

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.
