Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park

After being picked up from your hotel or the airport, you will have a short briefing about the safari before setting off to Lake Manyara National Park. This small park stretches along the base of the 600-meter-high Rift Valley Escarpment and is dominated by the alkaline Lake Manyara, where thousands of flamingos create a striking pink hue across the shallow waters. The park is home to more than 400 bird species, along with a variety of wildlife such as monkeys in the lush forest, giraffes and antelopes on the open grasslands, and elephants roaming around the acacia woodlands. Keep an eye out for the famous tree-climbing lions that are often seen lounging in the trees. Upon arrival at the lodge, you will check in and have lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive. Later, you will proceed to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Lake Manyara National Park - Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive towards the fertile crater highlands, where the Iraqw people grow wheat, corn, and coffee. Passing the Ngorongoro Crater, you'll continue your journey towards the vast Serengeti plains, arriving around midday with game viewing en route to the camp. After lunch, embark on an afternoon game drive to explore the park’s diverse landscapes, which include short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, mountains, and lakes.

The Serengeti, Tanzania’s largest national park, is home to an incredible array of wildlife, and its kopjes—bizarre rock formations—are a prime location to spot predators. Depending on the season, you may witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebras. During the short rainy season from November to December, the herds move south, while in the long rainy season from April to June, they migrate back north. After the game drives, you will return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park

Spend a full day exploring the vast plains of Serengeti National Park with both morning and afternoon game drives. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s most famous and largest national park, covering 14,763 square kilometers of protected land that extends to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve. The park is famous for the Great Migration of over a million wildebeest and approximately 200,000 zebras. During the short rains in October and November, the herds move south from the northern hills to the southern plains. After the long rains in April, May, and June, they begin their journey back north and west. The Great Migration is driven by an ancient instinct so powerful that neither drought, gorges, nor crocodile-infested rivers can hold them back. As they traverse different parks, reserves, and protected areas, they encounter a variety of habitats. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.
