3-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Lake Manyara Safari with KanKari Lodge
Why this Package
A compact 3-Day safari tour that pairs Tarangire’s elephant-rich baobab plains with Lake Manyara’s groundwater forest and vibrant birdlife. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness herds of elephants roaming beneath iconic baobab trees. After an exciting day of game drives, retreat to the KanKari Lodge, a mid-range property located on the outskirts of Karatu, offering a peaceful garden retreat.
At KanKari Lodge, meals are served on a full-board basis, ensuring you start your day with hearty breakfasts timed for early safari departures. Enjoy picnic lunches arranged upon request, and savor dinners featuring fresh local vegetables and traditional Tanzanian dishes, all served in a homely atmosphere. Guests often praise the friendliness of the staff and the personalized service that makes your stay memorable.
The lodge features a small cluster of en-suite rooms, each equipped with mosquito nets and private verandas, allowing you to relax while taking in views of the Karatu highlands. After a day of exploration, unwind at the swimming pool or bar, enjoying the intimate and welcoming ambiance.
Your safari continues to Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. Here, you can experience stunning sunsets over the lake, making for a perfect end to your day. The Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge offers a luxurious yet value-forward experience, blending a lodge-style atmosphere with the comforts of a tented camp. With its expansive deck and swimming pool, it’s an ideal spot for relaxation after your game drives.
With early departures essential for spotting wildlife at first light, this safari is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a trek on Mount Kilimanjaro. Experience the beauty of Tanzania’s parks while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.
Mix of mid-range and luxury 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.
