Why this Package

This 8-Day safari tour route stitches together five icons—Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, and North Serengeti—for breadth, pace, and seasonal drama on the Mara River. Experience the thrill of game drives through diverse landscapes, where you can witness the majestic Big Five and the incredible Great Wildebeest Migration.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large elephant herds and iconic baobabs. After a day of exploring, retreat to the Country Lodge Karatu, where you can enjoy hearty buffet meals and comfortable cottage rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The lodge's proximity to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara makes it an ideal base for families and groups.

Next, venture to Ngorongoro Crater and stay at Embalakai Tented Camp. This camp offers a rustic yet intimate experience, allowing for early access to the crater floor, where you can spot lions and hyenas at dawn. Enjoy full-board meals served in the mess tent, and unwind in cozy safari tents that provide a true bush atmosphere.

Your adventure continues in the Central Serengeti at Tukaone Hembe Serengeti Camp, where you can enjoy the thrill of predator sightings. The camp's location allows for flexible game drives, ensuring you maximize your wildlife encounters. Meals are hearty and simple, perfect for fueling your long days in the bush.

Finally, head to the North Serengeti and experience the seasonal Mara Kati Kati Tented Camp, ideally situated for witnessing the dramatic river crossings of the migration. With picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, this camp keeps you close to the action while providing essential comforts.

Throughout your safari, each lodge offers a unique experience, ensuring that you have a memorable and fulfilling adventure in Tanzania's stunning national parks. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this itinerary provides a perfect blend of wildlife viewing and 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.
