Tanzania Safari Tours & Africa Adventures
📍 Karatu
Bougainvillea Safari Lodge is a comfortable safari lodge on the outskirts of Karatu, northern Tanzania, positioned roughly midway between Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Surrounded by landscaped tropical gardens, the lodge provides a peaceful place to rest between game drives while keeping travellers close to some of the most important destinations on Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit.
The lodge focuses on relaxed, homely comfort rather than an overly formal safari experience. Its garden cottages, fireplaces, private verandas, swimming pool and restaurant make it particularly suitable for travellers spending a night or two in Karatu before or after exploring Ngorongoro.
Bougainvillea Safari Lodge is part of the locally established Bougainvillea Group of Lodges, which operates a collection of safari lodges and camps across Tanzania’s Northern Circuit.
