3-Day Mid-Range Safari: Tarangire & Ngorongoro with Heart and Soul Lodge
Why this Package
A smooth circuit for 3-Day safari tour, balancing wildlife density with easy logistics, takes you through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. This adventure is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari experience with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.
Your stay at Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu offers a delightful blend of comfort and eco-consciousness. This mid-range eco-styled property emphasizes locally sourced ingredients in its meals, providing hearty breakfasts and fresh dinners that highlight Tanzanian flavors. Guests often appreciate the warm, home-style dining experience, which stands in contrast to the more standardized buffets found at larger lodges.
The lodge features a small number of cottages and rooms, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, allowing you to unwind in a tranquil garden setting. With a focus on sustainability, Heart and Soul Lodge uses natural building materials and solar energy, creating a peaceful atmosphere that feels intimate and welcoming.
Access to the parks is convenient; you are just a short drive from the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can catch the tail end of predator activity in the early morning. After exploring the crater, you can also enjoy the stunning landscapes and wildlife of Lake Manyara, known for its flamingos and tree climbing lions.
With one night in Tarangire, one in Ngorongoro, and one in Lake Manyara, this itinerary allows you to immerse yourself in diverse ecosystems and witness a variety of wildlife, from elephants with big tusks to the vibrant birdlife of the lakes. Each park offers unique experiences that enhance your safari adventure.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
