Overview

 

 

Burunge Tented Lodge is beautifully set within the Burunge Wildlife Management Area, strategically located between Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara. The lodge offers spectacular views over Lake Burunge and the surrounding wilderness, providing a peaceful and scenic safari atmosphere.
