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 of Ngorongoro, and the elephant corridors of Tarangire. This journey is designed for those who appreciate a blend of comfort and adventure, staying at a mix of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges that enhance your safari experience.

Your adventure begins at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu, where you can unwind in cozy cottage-style rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms and verandas. The lodge offers hearty buffet-style meals, including packed lunches for your daily excursions. With its convenient location, you are just a short drive from both the Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara gates, allowing for easy access to these stunning parks.

Next, immerse yourself in the heart of the Serengeti at Conserve Safari Serengeti Camp. This camp provides an authentic bush experience with comfortable canvas tents and a cozy mess tent for communal dining. Enjoy early breakfasts and picnic lunches as you set out for long, rewarding game drives, where you may encounter big cats and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

As you explore the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among coffee estates, you will find a warm atmosphere complemented by spacious cottages and a pool for relaxation. The lodge serves generous meals, including estate coffee, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures. Its proximity to the Ngorongoro Gate makes it easy to maximize your time in this incredible area.

Finally, the Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge offers a unique experience with its rustic tented accommodations set in a tranquil forest environment. Enjoy hearty meals in the main mess area, and take advantage of the lodge's close proximity to the Ngorongoro gate, allowing for early morning access to the crater floor.

With multiple nights in each park, you will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania, making this safari not just a trip, but a memorable journey through some of Africa's most iconic locations. Experience the thrill of watching the sunrise over the baobabs in Tarangire or the vibrant birdlife in Lake Manyara. This is a perfect safari for families, couples, and anyone looking to connect with nature in a comfortable setting.

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.
