3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire and Lake Manyara Safari with Burunge Lodge
Why this Package
For a short sampler, this 3-Day safari tour delivers both Tarangire’s giant tuskers and Lake Manyara’s bird-rich shallows. Experience the beauty of the Tarangire National Park, famous for its iconic baobabs and large elephant herds, before heading to the lush landscapes of Lake Manyara, where you can spot tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife.
Your adventure begins at Burunge Tented Lodge, nestled in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area. This mid-range lodge offers excellent value with its sunset decks, swimming pool, and spacious tented rooms under thatch on raised platforms. Each room features en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and fans, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Dining at Burunge is a delight, with buffet or plated breakfasts designed for early starts, well-packed picnic lunches for your full days of exploration, and relaxed dinners on the deck, where you can enjoy the firelight and gentle lake breezes. The meals are simple yet delicious, reflecting local flavors.
With just one night in Tarangire, you'll maximize your chances of witnessing the park's wildlife during the cooler morning hours, when activity peaks. Then, you'll transition to Lake Manyara for another night, allowing for a deeper experience in this stunning region.
Access to Burunge is convenient, with the Sangaiwe Gate just a short drive away, making it easy to get into the park early. This safari is ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.
Mix of budget and mid-range Tanzania Safari
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.
