Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park
After an early morning breakfast, we’ll depart for Lake Manyara National Park, which is an unspoiled paradise best known for its birdlife and tree-climbing lions. The park is bordered on the west by the dramatic escarpment of the Rift Valley and to the east by the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara. The lake fluctuates with the seasons, drawing thousands of flamingos during the rainy season.
The name Manyara originates from the Maasai word “emanyara,” referring to a plant used to build protective enclosures around homesteads (bomas). The park's diverse vegetation ranges from savannah to evergreen forest. During your exploration, you may encounter giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and elephants, and with some luck, lions resting in the trees.
After lunch and an extensive game drive, we’ll proceed to our luxury partner lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Lake Manyara National Park - Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we’ll depart for the Ngorongoro Crater, where we are greeted by breathtaking views of this intact volcanic caldera, home to the highest density of big game in Africa. Often described as a "forgotten world," the crater is concealed by steep volcanic walls and contains a pristine wilderness with sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and shimmering lakes and swamps. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve.
Descending into the crater is an adventure itself. On the crater floor, you will encounter an array of wildlife, including large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species.
Following a picnic lunch in the crater, we’ll ascend the crater rim and continue with an en-route game drive toward Serengeti National Park.

Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its expansive open grasslands that provide exceptional wildlife sightings. As Tanzania's oldest national park and one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth, its climate and vegetation have remained largely unchanged for millions of years. While the Serengeti is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, it is especially famous for the Great Migration. Each year, vast herds of wildebeests, along with zebras and antelopes, traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing. The timing of this phenomenon depends on the annual rainfall patterns.
Day four will be dedicated to a full-day game drive in the Serengeti. Dinner and your overnight stay will be a the lodge.
