3-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Lake Manyara Safari with Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge
Why this Package
For a short sampler, this 3-Day safari tour delivers both Tarangire’s giant tuskers and Lake Manyara’s bird-rich shallows. Experience the wonders of Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees, while enjoying the comforts of the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge. Nestled among Karatu’s lush coffee estates, this upper mid-range lodge offers generous cottages with en-suite bathrooms, fireplaces, and private verandas, ensuring a cozy retreat after your daily adventures.
Meals at the lodge are a highlight, featuring early hot and cold breakfasts, generous picnic lunches for full-day drives, and plated dinners that blend international staples with local produce. Don’t forget to savor the estate coffee, a daily treat that enhances your stay.
Your journey begins with a thrilling game drive in Tarangire, where knowledgeable guides will lead you through the park’s stunning landscapes. As you explore, keep an eye out for lions, leopards, and cheetahs, alongside the park's renowned elephants. For a unique experience, consider a night game drive to witness the park's nocturnal inhabitants.
After an exhilarating day, retreat to your cottage at Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, where you can unwind by the inviting swimming pool or share stories with fellow travelers in the cozy lounge area. The lodge's accessibility makes it easy to alternate between Tarangire and Lake Manyara, with both parks just a short drive away.
On your second day, venture into Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. This park offers a different yet equally captivating experience, showcasing the diverse ecosystems of Tanzania. With two nights in this itinerary, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the beauty and wildlife of both parks, making it ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.
