Why this Package

This 8-day safari tour flows through Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes and wildlife experiences without excessive travel distances. Begin your adventure in the lush surroundings of Farmhouse Valley Adventure, a mid-range lodge on the outskirts of Karatu. Here, you can enjoy full-board dining with locally sourced ingredients, including fresh produce from the lodge's own gardens. The spacious chalet-style rooms provide comfort with en-suite bathrooms and verandas overlooking expansive gardens.

As you journey to Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife, you’ll appreciate the lodge's proximity to the park, which allows for early morning excursions.

This mid-range tented camp is designed for those who prioritize wildlife encounters, featuring simple yet comfortable Meru-style tents with en-suite bathrooms. Enjoy hearty communal meals that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.

Next, venture to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater. Staying at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge, you’ll benefit from its strategic location, allowing for quick access to the crater floor. The lodge offers a cozy tented atmosphere with rustic furnishings and communal dining experiences, enhancing your connection to nature. Finally, conclude your safari in Tarangire, famous for its majestic elephants and stunning baobab trees, before returning to Arusha.

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.
