3-Day Budget Safari: Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Manyara with Foresight Eco Lodge
Why this Package
In just three days, explore the diverse landscapes of Tarangire, the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, and the scenic shores of Lake Manyara while enjoying a budget-friendly stay at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari. This lodge, located in Karatu, offers a sustainable and community-focused atmosphere, perfect for travelers seeking an authentic experience without unnecessary frills.
Your adventure begins with a night in Tarangire, known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. After a day of game drives, return to Foresight for a simple yet hearty dinner featuring local Tanzanian dishes, prepared with fresh vegetables from the garden. The lodge emphasizes eco-friendly practices, providing cozy accommodations in spacious tents and cottages equipped with private baths and hot showers.
On the second day, you will head to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the incredible wildlife that inhabits this volcanic bowl. Although it adds a short drive to your morning routine, the lodge's early breakfast ensures you reach the crater floor during prime wildlife activity. After a day of exploration, enjoy a peaceful night back at Foresight, where thoughtful touches like hot water bottles make for a comfortable stay.
Finally, your journey concludes at Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant flamingos. The lodge's location allows for easy access to this stunning park, ensuring you maximize your time in nature. With a focus on community and sustainability, Foresight Eco Lodge provides a warm and personal atmosphere, making it an ideal base for your safari.
Choosing to spend multiple nights in each park enhances your experience, allowing for deeper exploration and relaxation. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors looking to combine their safari adventure with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.
