Why this Package

Four northern icons in a crisp 8-Day safari tour: explore the majestic landscapes of Lake Manyara, the abundant wildlife of Central Serengeti, the breathtaking views from Ngorongoro, and the enchanting corridors of elephants in Tarangire. This mid-range safari offers a perfect blend of comfort and adventure, allowing you to immerse yourself in the heart of Tanzania's wildlife.

Your journey begins at the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu, where you can unwind in cozy cottage-style rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms and private verandas. Enjoy hearty buffet-style meals, including packed lunches for your game drives, all served in a communal atmosphere that fosters connection among fellow travelers. The lodge's location makes it convenient for exploring both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, with access to the Ngorongoro Gate just a short drive away.

As you venture into Tarangire, known for its iconic baobabs and large elephant herds, you will appreciate the comfortable accommodations at the Marera Valley Lodge. Here, you can relax by the pool or enjoy meals on the veranda with stunning views of the valley. The intimate atmosphere and rustic-chic design create a welcoming environment for families and couples alike.

Your safari continues in the Central Serengeti at the Thorntree Camp, where you will experience the thrill of being in the heart of predator-rich territory. The camp provides a functional yet comfortable stay with hearty meals and cozy Meru tents that allow you to feel connected to nature. After a day of game viewing, gather around the communal dining area to share stories and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow adventurers.

Each park offers unique wildlife experiences, and staying multiple nights allows you to fully absorb the beauty and diversity of Tanzania's landscapes. From the vibrant birdlife of Lake Manyara to the dramatic vistas of the Ngorongoro Crater, this safari is designed for those who seek a deeper connection with the wild. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this mid-range safari promises unforgettable memories.

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.
