Arusha to Lake Manyara National park

Pick up from your Arusha hotel at 8:30 a.m. and head for Lake Manyara National Park with a picnic lunch for a full day wildlife drive. As you reach the national park, magnificent forests of Acacia and Mahogany trees set the tone for what's to come. The game drive will go till the evening, with a brief stop for a picnic lunch. While on the wildlife drive, keep an eye out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. The tree climbing lions are another attraction of Lake Manyara National Park, although locating them is a matter of chance. During the correct season, the beach becomes pink as millions of flamingos flock there.

Lake Manyara NP to Serengeti NP

After breakfast, we depart for the Serengeti National Park, passing through the stunning high-lying farms of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the mountains behind, we descend into the Serengeti, the heart of untamed Africa, with its boundless grasslands stretching into the horizon as far as the eye can see. We travel to the Seronera part of the park, one of the richest animal habitats in the park, containing the Seronera River, which supplies a vital water source to this area and hence attracts wildlife representative of the majority of Serengeti species. We arrive in time for lunch and then go on a wildlife drive in the Serengeti National Park in the afternoon.
