Day 1

Arusha Town to Lake Manyara National Park

Arusha Town to Lake Manyara National Park

Today we will depart from your hotel in Arusha/Moshi for a game drive in Lake Manyara national park, where we will stop for a picnic lunch in the afternoon. We’ll continue our game drive after lunch until dark, when we’ll leave the park and drive to our lodge/campsite for dinner and the night.

This national park, which is located at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment, is one of Tanzania’s most stunning wildlife regions, consisting of a vast but shallow soda lake (which covers two-thirds of the park). The park’s diverse habitat draws a wide range of species, including one of Africa’s greatest populations of elephants, Lake Manyara’s distinctive tree-climbing lions, and vast flocks of flamingos drawn to the lake’s algae.

Main Destination:
Lake Manyara National Park
Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)
High Season July to March (The northern section gets crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little rainfall)

Lake Manyara National Park to Serengeti National Park

Lake Manyara National Park to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we drive to the Serengeti National Park, passing via Karatu’s picturesque highland farms and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We leave the highlands behind and descend into the Serengeti National Park, the heart of untamed Africa, with its vast grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see. We travel to the Seronera area of the central park, one of the park’s finest wildlife habitats, which includes the Seronera River, which serves as a vital water source for the area and hence draws wildlife that is representative of the Serengeti’s species.
We arrive in time for lunch and take a wildlife drive in the Serengeti National Park in the afternoon.

Dinner and stay in the Seronera area, according to the requested standard and kind of accommodation.

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha Town

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha Town

For a half-day safari tour, you will descend 600 meters into the crater to see wildlife. The Ngorongoro National Park sustains a diverse range of wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and enormous African elephants, thanks to year-round water and feed. Another significant lure to this scenic refuge is its rich population of predators, which includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which can be difficult to spot even with a trained eye. We’ll go to Lake Magadi, a big but shallow alkaline lake in the crater’s southwest corner that is one of the crater’s most prominent features. It is common to witness a huge number of flamingos, hippos, and other aquatic birds here.

After a game drive, we’ll drive up the crater and back to your accommodation in Arusha/Moshi or to airport according to your next schedule.
