Ngorongoro Crater

Karibu!
Welcome to Tanzania!
You have arrived for your three-day Ngorongoro Crater Safari, and we know that you are eager to start your adventure.

After an early breakfast, you will be taken to the Ngorongoro Crater, also known as Africa's Eden. As you enter the wildlife haven, you will be treated to jaw-dropping views.
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. With an estimated 30,000 animals living here, this space is essentially a vast bowl of concentrated wildlife home to lions, buffalo, zebra, elephants and rhinos (amongst many more).
Our priority is to give our guests space and plenty of time to observe (and take pictures of) the animals in their prime habitat
Your lunch break stop will be by the hippopotamus lake.

After an exciting day, you will retire for an overnight stay at Rhino Lodge.

Lake Manyara

Your adventure promises an exhilarating start with an early morning departure for Lake Manyara. As you venture into this enchanting destination, you are welcomed by the embrace of nature's symphony.
Manyara, often described as a hidden gem of Tanzania, unveils its treasures as you arrive. The park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, showcasing a rich tapestry of flora and fauna. The verdant landscapes serve as the canvas for the spectacular display of wild animals in their natural habitat.

One of the park's iconic features is its famed tree-climbing lions, a rare spectacle that adds an element of intrigue to your safari experience. As you navigate through the diverse terrain, you will encounter colossal herds of elephants. An unforgettable moment we might say.

Mto Wa Mbu

On the final day of the Ngorongoro Crater Safari, we like to offer you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture of Tanzania.

After breakfast, we will head for Mto Wa Mbu; a small town with an impressive cultural diversity of over 120 ethnic groups - the perfect place to get into the heart of small-town life.

While in Mto Wa Mbu, you can take part in a variety of activities from local community groups.

With the Chagga people, you can participate in the creation of banana beer, the cultivation of rice seedlings and banana farming.
Alternatively, with the Makonde tribes, you can try your hand at carving and explore the food market.

These are just few examples of the activities which are available for you to experience. Make sure to ask our booking client for all your options.
