Today you will wake up early to do an early morning game drive after breakfast. You will descend to the crater, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhinos. In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, and a soda lake that from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingos, a forest and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. After a 5-hour of game drive, you will drive to Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge, where you will be able to relax and enjoy dinner.

Day 7

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

After breakfast, your safari guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to Lake Manyara National Park. Manyara is a relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha. The park's namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains, but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs. After a full day game drive, you will return to Arusha where your safari ends.
You can choose to be dropped off at Kilimanjaro Airport, Arusha Airport or Hotel in Arusha. If you will be going to Zanzibar, then we recommend booking a flight from 19:40 hours.
