Bougainvillea Safari Lodge

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Karatu

Bougainvillea Safari Lodge is the original Bougainvillea property in Karatu, built to serve safari groups looking for dependable quality at a fair price. With high season doubles around $270–$300 (~$160–$180 in low season), it’s a favorite for tour operators. It appeals to groups, families, and couples who want simple lodge comfort, a pool, and reliable service before or after crater drives.

Comparisons: Same tier: Country Lodge (sister lodge; similar) and Baghayo (sister lodge; garden focus). Step up: Kitela Lodge (luxury plantation). Step down: Martina’s Retreat.

Safari context: Its Karatu base makes it convenient for Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, ideal for travelers who want to overnight close but not on the rim.
