Enjoy full-board meals, including early breakfasts and picnic lunches, to maximize your time on the crater floor. Each tent features a private veranda, allowing you to immerse yourself in the bush surroundings.

Your journey continues to the Central Serengeti, where you’ll stay at Thorntree Camp. This mid-range tented camp is perfectly situated for game viewing in predator-rich areas. Meals are hearty and communal, fostering a sense of camaraderie among guests. The Meru tents provide comfortable accommodations with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.

Finally, you’ll visit Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. Each park offers unique wildlife experiences, making this safari a well-rounded adventure.

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.
