Mid Range
🌍 Tanzania
📍 Lake Eyasi
Lake Eyasi Safari Lodge, part of the Bougainvillea group, offers a mid-range base near Lake Eyasi, Tanzania’s cultural safari hub. At ~$300–$340 per double high season (~$180–$200 low), it appeals to travelers keen on visiting the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers and Datoga blacksmith communities. It’s less about wildlife and more about cultural immersion—best suited for travelers extending their safari with cultural depth.
Comparisons: Same tier: Country Lodge Karatu (mid-range; alternative, though without Eyasi access). Step up: Kitela Lodge (luxury plantation, Karatu). Step down: limited—Eyasi has few budget options of safe quality.
Safari context: Perfect overnight for those combining Ngorongoro with cultural visits—particularly in itineraries that emphasize local culture alongside wildlife.
