Why this Package

A circuit built for range: this 8-day safari tour links Tarangire’s elephants, Ngorongoro’s density, Lake Manyara’s birds, Central Serengeti’s big cats, and the North Serengeti’s riverine hills. Experience the thrill of the Great Wildebeest Migration while staying in a mix of comfortable accommodations that cater to both budget-conscious and mid-range travelers.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness majestic elephants and iconic baobabs. After a night here, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti and stay at Embalakai Tented Camp. This mid-range tented camp offers a rustic bush atmosphere, hearty meals, and comfortable Meru-style tents with en-suite bathrooms. Enjoy communal dinners and the chance to maximize your game drives with prime access to the Seronera Valley, known for its predator sightings.

Next, you’ll journey to the North Serengeti and stay at Mara Pure Migration Tented Camp, where you’ll be ideally positioned to witness the thrilling river crossings of the wildebeest migration. Meals are simple yet filling, and the camp’s basic style ensures you remain close to the action without luxury frills.

Your safari continues with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll stay at Farmhouse Valley Adventure. This mid-range lodge on the outskirts of Karatu offers spacious chalet-style rooms and full-board dining with locally sourced produce. Although it requires a short drive to the crater, the comfort and charm of the lodge make it a great base for exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Finally, you’ll conclude your journey at Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and rich birdlife. This diverse itinerary not only allows for ample wildlife viewing but also provides a well-rounded experience of Tanzania’s stunning landscapes and ecosystems.

With a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations, this safari is perfect for travelers looking for a balance of comfort and adventure, making it an ideal choice for families, couples, or first-time safari-goers.

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.
