Lake Burunge Tented Lodge
38-tent lodge on the banks of Lake Burunge in the Manyara-Tarangire wildlife corridor, watching elephants and migratory game from an elevated wooden restaurant deck.
Settle into Lake Burunge Tented Lodge
Lake Burunge Tented Lodge sits on the banks of Lake Burunge within a 25,000-foot natural protection area that has been managed by the Mbugwe tribe since 2003, just 10 minutes from Tarangire National Park's entrance. From the elegant wooden central platform where the restaurant stands, guests can watch the lakeshore for animals coming to drink, and because the lodge sits directly in the natural wildlife corridor between Lake Manyara and Tarangire, migratory game sightings are practically guaranteed. Guest reviews single out the property for excellent bird spotting, a scenic swimming pool, and strong value relative to other Tarangire-area lodges.
