Why this Package

Keep the pace lively over 8-Day safari tour: morning elephants in Tarangire, crater lions by lunchtime in Ngorongoro, stunning Rift Valley views, and an afternoon among Serengeti kopjes. This journey offers a blend of mid-range and luxury accommodations, ensuring a comfortable yet adventurous experience.

Your adventure begins at KanKari Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range property that provides a peaceful garden retreat for safari travelers. Enjoy hearty meals served on a full-board basis, with breakfasts timed for early safari departures and dinners featuring fresh local vegetables and Tanzanian dishes. The intimate atmosphere and personalized service make it a perfect base before heading to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater.

Next, you will stay at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, perched on a hilltop with breathtaking views. This lodge is ideal for families and couples, offering large suites with expansive decks and a striking infinity pool. The buffet breakfasts and polished plated dinners enhance your stay, while the quick access to Lake Manyara National Park allows for easy exploration of its famous tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife.

Experience the unique charm of Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp, where you’ll enjoy canvas tents on timber decks with en-suite bathrooms. The camp’s prime location near the crater rim ensures you can descend into the crater within minutes of gate opening, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big 5. Delight in chef-led camp cuisine, including picnic hampers for long days in the crater.

Your safari culminates at TAASA Lodge, located by Klein’s Gate on the Serengeti/Loliondo border. This luxury lodge offers a more exclusive experience with fewer vehicles and dramatic landscapes. Indulge in upscale bush cuisine and enjoy flexible activities like night drives and guided walks. The large tented suites provide a comfortable retreat after thrilling days of wildlife viewing.

With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania. This itinerary is perfect for those seeking a deeper connection with nature, making it an 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.
