Why this Package

Wildlife builds day by day in this 8-Day safari tour route—Tarangire herds, crater Big 5, flamingo fringes at Manyara and cat-rich Seronera. Experience the wonders of Tarangire, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, the vibrant landscapes of Lake Manyara, and the iconic Serengeti, all while enjoying a mix of budget and mid-range accommodations.

Your journey begins in Arusha, where you will set off to explore the diverse wildlife and stunning scenery of Tanzania. Spend your first night at Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma, a mid-range lodge-style camp located on the border of the Western Serengeti. This lodge provides hearty buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches for your drives, and delicious dinners with a touch of Swahili flavor. The thatched safari rooms and tents come equipped with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and private verandas, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Next, head to Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu, perfect for families and groups seeking a dependable base before or after crater drives. With its cottage-style rooms, communal dining, and a lovely pool, it offers a relaxed atmosphere just a short drive from both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.

Your adventure continues at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge, where rustic charm meets modern comforts. Enjoy full-board meals in a cozy setting, with permanent tents that provide a unique experience close to nature. This lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro gate allows for early access to the crater, enhancing your chances of spotting the Big 5.

Finally, conclude your safari at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a family-run property that offers a homely atmosphere with meals sourced from their farm. The intimate setting and personal hosting make it a favorite among travelers looking for authenticity and warmth.

With multiple nights in each location, you can immerse yourself in the rich wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, making this safari a truly unforgettable experience.

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.
