4-Day Mid-Range Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu Safari with Bougainvillea Lodge
Why this Package
When the rains rejuvenate the landscape from December to March, embark on a captivating 4-day safari through Tarangire, Ndutu Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. This journey combines the thrill of witnessing the calving season in Ndutu with the impressive wildlife density of Ngorongoro and the iconic elephants of Tarangire. You'll enjoy the comforts of Bougainvillea Safari Lodge, a dependable choice in Karatu that offers a welcoming atmosphere for families and groups.
Your adventure begins with a night in Tarangire, where you can explore the park known for its massive elephant herds and stunning baobab trees. Afterward, you’ll head to Ndutu, where the seasonal camp Tanzania Bush Camps Ndutu places you right in the heart of the action during the calving months. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals and comfortable Meru-style tents, perfect for unwinding after a day of wildlife viewing.
Finally, you’ll experience the breathtaking views and wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is renowned for its rich biodiversity, including the Big Five, and offers a unique opportunity to see wildlife in a stunning volcanic landscape. Your stay at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge ensures you have a cozy retreat with buffet-style meals and cottage-style rooms equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas for relaxation.
Access to the parks is convenient, with Ngorongoro Gate just a short drive away, allowing you to maximize your time exploring these incredible landscapes. This safari is ideal for first-time visitors looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife in a comfortable yet affordable setting.
Mix of budget and mid-range Tanzania Safari
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. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
