Moshi – Lake Manyara National Park
You will be met at the reception of your hotel in Moshi/Arusha and driven to the Lake Manyara National Park. Not only is this park a bird-lovers paradise with over 400 species of birds, but is also home to primates such as baboons and blue monkeys and many herbivores, such as elephants, hippos, wildebeest, impalas and giraffes. You might even catch a glimpse of the more carnivorous inhabitants, such as leopards and lions. Through the pop-up roof of your safari vehicle, you will see the landscape changing from lush acacia woodlands to grassy floodplains, where colonies of flamingos and other waterfowls can be found on the alkaline Lake Manyara shoreline. After extensive game viewing, you will leave the park and head to your campsite in the small town of Mto wa Mbu. The evening can be spent lounging at the pool or bar before you have your evening meal and overnight stay. The night will be spent in tents.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Today you will explore the Serengeti National Park. Your guide will take you closer to where the migrating herds are to be found. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds make their way from the hills in the north to the plains of the south, returning north during the longer rainy season from April to June. Their exact location differs yearly as they migrate according to the rainfall, but your guide will know where you will be able to see them best. You might even spot some leopards, cheetahs and lions lurking close by. After an eventful day, you will return to your campsite in the Seronera area for your evening meal and overnight stay.

Soon the 600 meters deep unbroken caldera will open up before you and you will have a moment to take in the fantastic, awe-inspiring views of the collapsed volcano. Your campsite lies directly on the crater’s edge, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view as the sun slowly sets over the crater. Nestled in your tent, thinking about the adventure the next morning brings, you will drift off to sleep.

The crater floor is covered in open grassland with the occasional acacia tree and two small wooded areas. Teaming with wildlife, you will be able to see many animals in a short period of time and might even be able to tick the “Big Five”—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard—off your list. Other animals present in the crater area include wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, warthogs, hippos and more than 500 species of birds. You will spend the entire morning exploring the park and after a picnic lunch in the crater, you will return to Moshi/Arusha where you will arrive by early evening.
