Why this Package

Short on time but wide in scope, this 8-Day safari tour arc touches Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire without backtracking. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations. Begin your journey at Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge that offers a true back-to-nature experience. Here, you can savor hearty meals featuring fresh vegetables sourced from local farms, served in a communal dining hall that fosters a warm atmosphere.

Your adventure continues in the Central Serengeti at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp, where you’ll find comfortable Meru-style canvas tents designed for those who prioritize wildlife proximity over polished interiors. Enjoy simple yet satisfying meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that create a social dining experience. With its central location, Osero provides excellent access to predators and resident herds, making it ideal for first-time safari-goers.

Next, you’ll descend into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where the chance to see the Big Five awaits. Afterward, unwind at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a family-run property that combines affordable accommodation with an authentic farmstead feel. Here, you can enjoy home-cooked meals with local flavors, served in an intimate setting that emphasizes personal hosting.

With multiple nights in each location, you’ll have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania. Whether you're captivated by the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara or the majestic elephants of Tarangire, this safari promises unforgettable experiences.

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.
