4-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Manyara Safari with Baghayo Garden
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 diverse landscapes and wildlife while enjoying the comforts of budget and mid-range lodges.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, known for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. After a day of game viewing, you will retreat to Baghayo Garden Suites in Karatu. This lodge offers a homely atmosphere with hearty meals, including local stews and vegetarian options, served buffet style. The garden-view suites are simple yet clean, featuring en-suite bathrooms and mosquito nets, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Next, you will head to the Central Serengeti, where the wildlife spectacle unfolds. Staying at Tukaone Hembe Serengeti Camp, you will enjoy rustic comfort in Meru-style tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Meals are hearty, with picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests. The camp's central location allows for early morning game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Cats.
Your journey concludes at Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. This park offers a unique experience with its lush forests and stunning views of the Rift Valley. The drive back to Arusha will give you time to reflect on the incredible wildlife encounters and landscapes you have experienced.
With this itinerary, you will not only witness the beauty of Tanzania’s national parks but also enjoy dependable comfort and delicious meals, making it an ideal choice for first-time safari-goers or those looking to combine their adventure with a Kilimanjaro trek or a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar.
