3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire and Lake Manyara Safari with Heart and Soul Lodge
Why this Package
Keep transfers short while maximizing contrast: embark on a 3-day safari adventure through Tarangire and Lake Manyara, enjoying the comforts of a mid-range eco-styled lodge. Experience the stunning baobab plains of Tarangire, renowned for its large elephant herds, before heading to the lakeshore drives of Lake Manyara, famous for its diverse birdlife and tree-climbing lions.
Your stay at Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu offers a unique blend of eco-consciousness and personal service, making it an ideal choice for travelers who appreciate a smaller, intimate setting. Meals here emphasize locally sourced ingredients, with early breakfasts and lunch packs prepared for your daily excursions, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.
The lodge features a limited number of cottages and rooms, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, allowing you to unwind in a tranquil garden setting. Guests often praise the warm, home-style dining experience, which contrasts with the more standardized buffets found in larger lodges. After a day of exploration, relax by the swimming pool or enjoy a drink at the bar, surrounded by the lush greenery of the lodge.
With Karatu town just a short drive away and easy access to both the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park, Heart and Soul Lodge is perfectly situated for your safari needs. This itinerary is particularly suited for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari experience with a Kilimanjaro trek or a beach escape to Zanzibar.

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.
