3-Day Luxury Safari: Tarangire & Ngorongoro with Kitela Lodge
Why this Package
If time is limited, this 3-Day safari tour across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara reads like a greatest-hits track. Your journey begins with a night in Tarangire, renowned for its vast landscapes and impressive elephant herds. Here, you’ll enjoy the comforts of Kitela Lodge, a serene plantation hideaway that offers a peaceful retreat amidst lush gardens and coffee fields.
At Kitela Lodge, indulge in plated, unhurried dinners featuring fresh produce sourced from local farms. The cottage-style suites provide a cozy atmosphere with king beds, fireplaces, and verandas overlooking beautifully manicured lawns. After a day of exploration, unwind by the calm pool area, perfect for relaxation.
Your adventure continues with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, where early morning departures ensure you capture the breathtaking wildlife moments on the crater floor. The proximity of Kitela Lodge—just a short drive to the crater gate—allows for seamless access to this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Finally, you’ll explore the stunning landscapes of Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant flamingos. Each park offers unique wildlife experiences, making multiple nights essential for a deeper connection with Tanzania's natural beauty. This tour is ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or a climb up Kilimanjaro.

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.
