Day 1

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

At 8 a.m., you will be picked up from your accommodation and begin a lovely journey over the Great Rift Valley for a full day game drive. Despite its small size (205 square miles), the park boasts stunning landscape and is widely known for its lush acacia woodland, big figs, and mahogany trees. It also has a developing baboon and blue monkey population. Giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a large number of buffaloes are also permanent residents of this park. The lake also has a huge population of hippos. The sceneries of Lake Manyara are indescribably beautiful. Beautiful photos of giraffes and buffaloes in the front and the lake in the backdrop may be taken during game drives along the lake. There are also optional trips available, such as a bike tour or a boat excursion. You'll head to the lodge in the early evening for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2

Central Serengeti National Park

Central Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, we will proceed to the Serengeti, the world's most well-known national park. Despite being lengthy, the actual drive is breathtaking. Anyone witnessing it for the first time will remember it forever. You will understand why the Serengeti is called the "endless plains" in the local tongue as you go deeper into the park. The park is 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers) in size, and for the majority of that area, the plains will extend to the horizon, confounding your idea of time and space. In addition to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and several antelope species, it is the starting point of the Great Migration. Big cats and other huge predators may be found there, and the park has served as the location for several television productions, including the renowned River Crossings.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

On this day, we recommend getting up extremely early in order to go on an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and view one of the finest sunrises you'll ever see. Following the wildlife drive, we will return to the camp for a satisfying lunch before heading to Ngorongoro, the World's 8th Wonder. The crater covers 102 square miles and features 2,000-foot-high walls, like Noah's ark. It is home to nearly every kind of animals indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the few places on the entire continent where you can see a black rhino. The crater has a river, many marshes, a soda lake teeming with flamingos, a forest, and wide grasslands. It is also famed for its elephants, which are the world's biggest and have enormous tusks. The Ngorongoro Crater is a wonderful natural wonder.

You'll arrive just in time for a dinner and overnight rest at Ngorongoro.

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Before your journey home, you'll have plenty of time today to take in another genuine sight. It is the Ngorongoro Crater as a natural wonder of the world. The biggest volcanic caldera in the world is the first; it is surrounded by meadows, woodlands, and wetlands and is a setting of breathtaking beauty. Second, the crater floor's persistent water supplies more than 25,000 big creatures with a home base. Here, animals like elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, jackals, waterbucks, baboons, and even the endangered black rhino find refuge. The Maasai graze their cattle in an area that has been a distinct conservation reserve since 1956 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, sharing this amazing space with the animals. We will have some time after lunch for a quick wildlife drive before leaving the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and traveling to Arusha via ascending the crater. However, we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch. We anticipate returning to Arusha about 5 o'clock.
