4-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Manyara Safari with Bougainvillea
Why this Package
This route reveals the contrasts of northern Tanzania: Tarangire’s elephants, Central Serengeti’s vast predator stage, and Lake Manyara’s Rift Valley forests. Over four days, you will experience the rich wildlife and stunning landscapes of these iconic parks while enjoying the comforts of budget and mid-range accommodations.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, known for its impressive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. After a day of exploration, you will stay at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu. This budget-friendly lodge emphasizes sustainability and community, offering hearty home-cooked meals and cozy accommodations with private baths and scenic views. The lodge's commitment to eco-friendly practices makes it a perfect base for your safari.
Next, you will venture into the Central Serengeti, where the wildlife action is unparalleled. Here, you will stay at Hippo Trails Camp, a mid-range tented camp that provides a rustic yet comfortable experience. Located near the Seronera River Valley, this camp offers prime access to big cats and hippos. Enjoy communal meals and the thrill of being immersed in the heart of the Serengeti.
Finally, your journey concludes at Lake Manyara, famed for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. The park’s lush landscapes provide a stunning backdrop for your safari adventures. After a day of wildlife viewing, you will return to Baghayo Garden Suites, where you can unwind in garden-view suites that offer a homely atmosphere and delicious meals.
With this itinerary, you will not only witness the breathtaking beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife but also enjoy comfortable and welcoming accommodations that enhance your safari experience. This is an ideal choice for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro.
