Why this Package

If time is limited, this 6-day safari tour across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara offers an unforgettable experience. Begin your adventure at Burunge Tented Lodge, nestled in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area, where you can enjoy stunning views of the lake and expansive skies. This mid-range lodge is known for its excellent value, featuring sunset decks and a refreshing pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

At Burunge, meals are a highlight, with hearty buffet breakfasts prepared for early starts, well-packed picnic lunches for your full days in the parks, and relaxed dinners enjoyed on the deck under the stars. The lodge's tented rooms are designed for comfort, featuring en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and fans, all set on raised platforms to enhance your safari experience.

As you move on to Ngorongoro, you'll stay at Ikumbi Lodge, an affordable base that offers a slightly more polished experience than other budget options. With a full-board dining plan, you can expect early breakfasts for your safari departures and delicious communal dinners featuring local dishes. The lodge's modern rooms are equipped with private bathrooms and balconies overlooking lush gardens, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of wildlife viewing.

Your final stop is the Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge, where you can immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the comforts of a permanent lodge. Located just a short drive from the Ngorongoro gate, this lodge allows for early access to the crater, enhancing your chances of spotting the Big 5. The cozy, rustic tents come with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, perfect for enjoying the serene forest surroundings.

With multiple nights in each park, you'll have ample time to explore the diverse landscapes and wildlife, from the iconic baobabs and elephants of Tarangire to the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater and the unique tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara. This safari is ideal for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to experience the best of Tanzania's natural beauty.

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.
