Day 1
Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park
Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast from Arusha, you will proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive with picnic lunches. Later you will proceed to Africa safari Lake Manyara for dinner and your overnight stay. Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”. The compact game-viewing circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundreds of baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside. Blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
The Central Serengeti is characterized by vast savannas, acacia-studded landscapes, and the iconic kopjes - granite outcrops that punctuate the plains. Here’s what makes the Central Serengeti so captivating: Abundant Wildlife: It’s home to an incredible density of wildlife, including the Big Five. The Seronera Valley, in particular, is known as the Big Cat Capital of Africa, where lions, leopards, and cheetahs are often spotted. Great Migration: The area is a key stage for the Great Migration, where vast herds of wildebeest and zebra traverse the plains, usually around April to June and then again from October to December.
Kopjes: These rocky outcrops are not only visually striking but also serve as a habitat for a variety of animals. Lions and cheetahs often use them as vantage points. Seronera River: This river provides a year-round water source, attracting a plethora of animals and thus offering excellent game viewing opportunities throughout the year.
