3-Day Mid-Range Tarangire and Ngorongoro Safari with Burunge Lodge
Why this Package
Experience the best of Tanzania in this 3-day safari that takes you through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This tour offers a perfect mix of adventure and comfort, featuring the Burunge Tented Lodge, where you can unwind after exhilarating days of wildlife viewing.
At Burunge Tented Lodge, nestled in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area, enjoy the tranquility of a mid-range lodge that provides excellent value. With sunset decks and a refreshing pool, the lodge is ideal for families and small groups looking to relax between game drives. Meals are hearty and thoughtfully prepared, with buffet breakfasts, well-packed picnic lunches for your days in the parks, and delightful dinners enjoyed on the deck, all while soaking in the lake breezes.
After a night at Burunge, you'll venture into Tarangire, famous for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs. The park's less crowded west side offers stunning baobab-and-lake scenes, perfect for those early morning drives when wildlife is most active. Following your Tarangire adventure, you'll head to the Ngorongoro Crater, where the rich biodiversity promises unforgettable encounters with the Big Five. Although staying at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari adds a bit of travel time to the crater, its budget-friendly, eco-conscious ethos makes it a fantastic choice for those wanting to immerse themselves in the local culture.
Foresight offers a range of rustic yet comfortable accommodations, featuring cozy beds and private baths, all while emphasizing sustainability. Enjoy simple, home-cooked meals that highlight local flavors, and take in the peaceful environment that surrounds you. With this combination of lodges, you’ll experience the best of both worlds: the comfort of Burunge and the authentic charm of Foresight.
Whether you're a first-time traveler or looking to combine this adventure with a trek on Mount Kilimanjaro or a beach escape to Zanzibar, this safari is designed to create lasting memories.

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.
