Why this Package
Elephant encounters meet flamingo flocks in this 3-Day safari tour combination of Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Experience the thrill of wildlife in their natural habitat while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges. Begin your adventure at Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire, where families and groups can unwind in spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms and verandas. The lodge offers a relaxing atmosphere with a central lounge and a swimming pool, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploration.
Meals at Olkambe Simba Lodge are hearty and filling, featuring a buffet-style service with a variety of international and Swahili dishes. Early risers can enjoy picnic boxes for their morning game drives, ensuring you don’t miss a moment of the action in Tarangire National Park, famous for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs. Access to the park is convenient, taking approximately 25–35 minutes from the lodge.
Your journey continues to Country Lodge Karatu, a sister property known for its dependable service and family-friendly atmosphere. Located just a short drive from Lake Manyara, this lodge offers comfortable cottage rooms with mosquito nets and en-suite bathrooms, along with a lovely garden and a pool for relaxation. The buffet meals here are designed to satisfy, featuring filling breakfasts, picnic lunches, and communal dinners that highlight both local and international cuisine.
With its proximity to both parks, Country Lodge is an excellent base for those looking to explore the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of the region. Enjoy the vibrant birdlife and the chance to spot tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara, all while staying in a comfortable environment that caters to your needs. This safari is ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to nearby attractions like Ngorongoro Crater.

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.
