3-Day Premium Luxury Tarangire Lake Manyara Safari with Sanctuary Swala
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. Experience the elegance of Sanctuary Swala, a premium luxury camp nestled deep within Tarangire, where you can enjoy exceptional guiding and prime access to remote wildlife loops. The camp’s positioning allows for early morning game drives, ensuring you witness the stunning sights of elephants and lions in their natural habitat.
Your adventure begins with a journey from Arusha to Tarangire, where you will spend a night at Sanctuary Swala. Here, canvas pavilions on raised decks offer stylish interiors and expansive bathrooms, complemented by wide verandas overlooking the floodplains. Meals are a highlight, featuring gourmet bush breakfasts and lantern-lit dinners, all served with a selection from an extensive wine cellar.
After your immersive experience in Tarangire, you will head to Lake Manyara for another night, where the diverse ecosystems provide a perfect backdrop for spotting tree-climbing lions and a variety of bird species. Your stay at Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge in Karatu offers a comfortable base, with generous cottages, a swimming pool, and a small spa to unwind after your daily adventures. Enjoy early hot and cold breakfasts, picnic lunches for your full-day drives, and plated dinners that celebrate local produce.
This safari is ideal for first-time visitors looking to experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife in a short time. The combination of Tarangire and Lake Manyara allows for a rich tapestry of landscapes and animal encounters, making it a memorable journey. Don’t miss the chance to explore the Tarangire National Park and the unique features of Lake Manyara, both teeming with wildlife and breathtaking scenery.

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.
