3-Day Budget Safari: Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Manyara with Ikumbi Lodge
Why this Package
Experience the diverse landscapes of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara on this 3-day budget safari. Each park offers unique wildlife encounters, from the majestic elephants in Tarangire to the stunning views of the Ngorongoro Crater and the vibrant birdlife at Lake Manyara.
Your stay at Ikumbi Lodge provides a comfortable base, featuring modern rooms with private bathrooms and local decor that enhances your safari experience. Enjoy full-board dining with a mix of international and local dishes, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily adventures. Breakfasts are served early for those early morning game drives, and picnic lunches can be arranged upon request.
With a strategic location, Ikumbi Lodge is just a short drive from the Ngorongoro gate, allowing you to maximize your time exploring the crater. The lodge's atmosphere is welcoming, offering a more conventional “lodge” feel compared to other options in the area, making it ideal for budget-conscious travelers.
Spending multiple nights in these parks enhances your wildlife viewing opportunities. You'll have the chance to witness the active morning hours when predators are on the move, and the relaxed pace allows for deeper exploration of each unique ecosystem. This tour is perfect for first-time visitors looking to combine their safari experience with a potential Kilimanjaro trek or a beach getaway in Zanzibar.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife on this unforgettable journey.
