3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Lake Manyara Safari with Bougainvillea 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 birdlife. Begin your adventure in the heart of Tanzania, where you will experience the vibrant wildlife and stunning landscapes that these parks offer. Your journey starts from Arusha, leading you to the comfortable Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu, known for its dependable quality and warm hospitality.
At Bougainvillea, enjoy hearty buffet-style meals, featuring delicious breakfasts, packed lunches, and dinners that cater to all tastes, including vegetarian options. The lodge's cottage-style rooms provide a cozy retreat, complete with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. With a lovely pool and garden grounds, it’s an ideal spot for families and couples alike.
Your first day will be spent in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness the majestic elephants roaming among the iconic baobabs. The park's diverse ecosystems make it a fantastic place for wildlife sightings, especially during the cooler hours of the day. On your second day, venture to Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and rich birdlife. The park's lush landscapes offer a different perspective, showcasing the beauty of Tanzania’s natural heritage.
With convenient access to both parks—approximately 25–30 minutes to each—you'll maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities while enjoying the comforts of your lodge. This safari is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a climb of Kilimanjaro. Experience the thrill of the African wilderness and create unforgettable memories on this enriching journey.
