3-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire and Lake Manyara Safari with Serena
Why this Package
Balance your 3-Day safari tour with river valleys in Tarangire and Rift Valley woodlands in Lake Manyara. This adventure invites you to explore the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tarangire and Lake Manyara, while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.
Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of thrilling game drives, you will unwind at the Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge. Perched on the escarpment, this lodge offers breathtaking views of the Rift Valley and features a stunning infinity pool. Meals here are a highlight, with early buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches, and dinners that rotate between plated menus and themed buffets, ensuring a family-friendly dining experience.
After a restful night, you will head to Lake Manyara, where you can witness the park's famous tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. The lodge's cliff-edge rooms provide a cozy retreat, many with balconies or patios that overlook the stunning landscape. With quick access to the park, you can maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.
On your return, you will stay at the Ngorongoro Farm House, a spacious lodge styled around a colonial coffee plantation. Enjoy full-board dining with fresh produce sourced from the lodge's own farm, and relax in chalet-style rooms that overlook the gardens and coffee plantation. This lodge is conveniently located just a short drive from the Ngorongoro gate, allowing for early morning game drives into the crater.
This safari is perfect for first-timers or those looking to combine their adventure with a Kilimanjaro trek or a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar. Experience the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes while enjoying the comforts of upper mid-range accommodations.
