The cozy tents feature en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, allowing you to soak in the serene atmosphere.

As you continue to the Central Serengeti, you’ll stay at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp, where rustic charm meets comfort. This camp is designed for those who prioritize wildlife proximity over luxury, with simple yet hearty meals and Meru-style tents that provide a genuine safari feel. The camp's location ensures you have easy access to the best wildlife viewing spots in the Serengeti.

Finally, your adventure concludes with a visit to Tarangire, famous for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife, making this safari a memorable experience.

Mid-Range Tanzania Safari

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.
