3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Lake Manyara Safari with KanKari Lodge
Why this Package
Experience two distinct habitats in this 3-Day safari tour: the open savannah with elephants in Tarangire and the lush lakeshore forest of Lake Manyara. This journey is perfect for first-time visitors seeking a blend of wildlife encounters and comfortable lodging.
Your adventure begins at Tarangire Kati Kati Tented Camp, where you’ll enjoy the thrill of sleeping close to wildlife. This camp offers a classic mid-range experience, featuring simple yet clean accommodations that allow you to immerse yourself in nature. Meals are hearty and unfussy, with options like porridge and eggs for breakfast, picnic lunches, and satisfying dinners. The Meru tents provide proper beds, en-suite facilities, and a sociable mess tent for gathering after a day of exploration.
After a night in Tarangire, you’ll head to KanKari Lodge in Karatu, a charming retreat that emphasizes personal service and a homely atmosphere. Here, meals are served on a full-board basis, with breakfast timed for early safari departures and dinners featuring fresh local ingredients. The lodge’s en-suite rooms are modestly furnished, each with a private veranda overlooking the beautiful Karatu highlands. The intimate setting makes it ideal for those who appreciate a quieter experience.
With both parks offering unique wildlife viewing opportunities, you’ll have the chance to witness the famous elephants of Tarangire and the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara. This safari not only allows for ample game viewing but also provides a comfortable base to relax after your adventures. The accessibility of both parks from your lodges ensures you maximize your time in the wild.
Whether you’re combining this safari with a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro or a beach escape to Zanzibar, this tour promises unforgettable memories amidst Tanzania’s stunning landscapes.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
