3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire and Lake Manyara Safari with Tortilis Camp
Why this Package
This 3-Day safari tour circuit suits families—steady herds in Tarangire and monkeys, birds, and lions in Lake Manyara. Experience the beauty of Tanzania while staying at Lake Manyara Tortilis Camp, a tented mid-range property that offers a genuine safari atmosphere just minutes from the park entrance. The camp's location allows for early morning game drives, maximizing your wildlife viewing opportunities.
At Tortilis Camp, enjoy full-board service with hearty meals served in the mess tent or outdoors, complemented by early breakfasts and picnic lunches for your excursions. Dinner is often a communal affair around the campfire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious safari tents feature en-suite bathrooms, flush toilets, and solar-heated showers, along with private verandas that provide stunning views of the Rift Valley and Lake Manyara escarpment.
For your stay in Karatu, consider Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a small, family-run property that combines affordable accommodation with an authentic farmstead feel. Guests here enjoy delicious home-cooked meals with many ingredients sourced directly from the farm, enhancing the local flavor of your dining experience. The en-suite rooms are simply decorated in a rustic farmhouse style, offering a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
Access to the parks is convenient from both lodges, with Lake Manyara NP gate just minutes away from Tortilis Camp and a short drive to Ngorongoro from Tanzanice. This itinerary allows you to immerse yourself in the diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes of Tanzania, making it ideal for first-time visitors or those combining their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro.
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.
