This upper mid-range lodge offers generous cottages with fireplaces and a swimming pool, perfect for relaxation after a day of safari. Enjoy delicious meals featuring local produce, and take advantage of the easy access to both Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.

With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania.

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.
