3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Safari with Burunge Lodge
Why this Package
A short 3-Day safari tour circuit lets you track elephant families and observe big cats in classic Tarangire landscapes. Experience the beauty of Tarangire National Park, renowned for its iconic baobabs and large elephant herds, while enjoying the comforts of Burunge Tented Lodge. Nestled in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area, this mid-range accommodation offers excellent value with sunset decks, a refreshing pool, and a tranquil atmosphere.
At Burunge Tented Lodge, you can savor delicious meals, including buffet breakfasts timed for early starts, well-packed picnic lunches for your full days of exploration, and relaxed dinners enjoyed on the deck, all complemented by the soothing lake breezes. The lodge features tented rooms on raised platforms, complete with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and fans, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Access to Tarangire is convenient, with the Sangaiwe Gate just a short drive away, allowing you to maximize your time in the park. The west side of Tarangire offers stunning baobab-and-lake scenes with fewer vehicles, making it ideal for wildlife viewing. Early morning game drives provide the best chances to witness the park's vibrant activity as the sun rises over the horizon.
For those looking to combine their safari adventure with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, consider staying at Ikumbi Lodge in Karatu, which serves as an affordable base for exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ikumbi Lodge offers a more polished experience than other budget options, with comfortable rooms featuring private bathrooms and balconies overlooking lush gardens. The lodge's full-board dining ensures you are well-fed for your daily adventures.
This 3-Day safari is perfect for first-time visitors eager to experience the wonders of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes. Whether you're tracking elephants in Tarangire or enjoying the breathtaking views from your lodge, this journey promises unforgettable memories.
