Tarangire Safari
Tarangire Safari Lodge is a substantial family owned and managed lodge situated 10km inside the main gate of Tarangire National Park. It was originally built in 1970 making it the oldest lodge in the park, and its position on the escarpment ridge gives it impressive views over the baobab and acacia woodlands down to the Tarangire River – but also places it in the heart of the park's busiest area.

"The view down to the river outside was great. Plenty of sightings in the park"

The size of Tarangire Safari Lodge means it is impersonal compared with some of the smaller bush camps, especially as it is a popular choice with some larger tour groups. However, the lodge is considerably less costly than other options in the park, and so offers a good choice for those on a budget. The tents are basic but comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxed. It has a lovely location with stunning views – but this is a busy area where you'll see a lot of other vehicles and visitors. It is well geared for children, so could be a great option for families on a budget. See our full report on Tarangire Safari Lodge

Lake Manyara Safari
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park makes a great safari destination. Here, along with elephant herds and plains game, you’ll find jungle-like forests that are home to blue monkeys, a soda lake tinged pink by flamingos and some of Tanzania’s best birding.

Farmhouse Lodge
The Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge is a lovely lodge just outside of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Set in 750 acres of private farmland, it is comfortable, well laid out and has some lovely views across the farm and across to Oldeani Volcano. The Farmhouse Lodge opened in 2003, and since then has been offering good value accommodation and is a good base for visiting both the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park.

"Great accommodation, grounds, staff and food."

Ngorongoro Farmhouse has a rustic, countryside feel, which is very appealing. We felt that the interiors do not quite live up to the promise of the exterior, but the lodge is still a welcoming and friendly, and comparatively affordable, spot to base yourself to trips to the crater.

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater
To drive into the Ngorongoro Crater is to immerse yourself in a renowned wildlife park. Prides of lion and clans of hyena patrol amongst herds of zebra, wildebeest and Thomson’s gazelle, whilst flocks of crowned cranes keep out the way of jackals. Come for elephants with big tusks, too. And then there are the rhino… Read all about Ngorongoro Crater safari

Kati Kati Camp
Kati Kati Camp is a simple tented camp located in the central Serengeti in Tanzania, near to Seronera. This area of the Serengeti has reliably good game viewing throughout the year, and is a great place to look for cheetah on the vast open plains.

"Tent with mesh sides - a favourite style - so good open feeling"

Kati Kati is not luxurious: it is a no-frills camp that is good value for money and in a well-positioned location. This is not somewhere to come for fancy furnishings, fine food, top-level service and pampering. However, it's a very good option if you're on a tighter budget and want to explore this area, with its abundance of game. Its small size and basic tents give a real feel of camping out in the African bush. It’s simple, but enjoyable! See our full report on Kati Kati Camp
