Today your safari starts! You will be picked up by your personal safari guide from your accommodation and we will drive to Lake Manyara National Park which takes about 3,5 hours.

Your car is provided with a special interior with a roof that pops up, allowing you to stand up straight to film or take pictures.
Once you have arrived at the park gate your guide will handle the paperwork and your safari can start.
With its location at the base of the east African rift valley along the Gregory rift, it offers spectacular viewing of the escarpment. Lake Manyara is one of those national parks which offers rich and diverse game viewing within a reasonably small area. Who will spot the first animal?

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
In the morning we will drive in to the Ngorongoro Crater. We advise to start early to get the nice morning light and before it gets too busy. The crater is one of the prime areas to observe the endangered Black rhino, but there are not many left in the crater, which means that we can’t promise seeing this beautiful animal. You will spend the whole day ‘on safari’ in the park looking for the amazing wildlife you will get to see here. Your guide will bring a picnic lunch to enjoy down on the crater floor. At the end of the day we drive out of the crater, back to your accommodation.

A long and bumpy road will take you in about 2-3 hours to the Serengeti Gate and another 2-3 hours to Lobo area. While it’s a long day 5-6 hour day, it’s also very special as you drive through different landscapes, giving you a game drive on route kind of feeling.
During your stay in Serengeti National Park, you can embark on unlimited game drives from 06.00am to 06.00pm. Start with an early breakfast, take a lunchbox, and return to camp in the late afternoon, or enjoy a morning game drive followed by a hot lunch at the camp.

This region, characterized by permanent water sources, rolling hills, and ancient granite kopjes, sustains abundant wildlife year-round.
