Day 1

Lake Manyara

Lake Manyara

Program: After breakfast departure for the Park of Lake Manyara for wildlife sighting in the famous lake with picnic lunch.

Activities: Photo safari

Lake Manyara Park is one of the parks with the highest biodiversity in Tanzania: in a park of only 330 sq. km we find five different ecosystems. The lake of alkaline water is home to flocks of pink flamingos, which at sunset mingle with the lights of the sun giving rise to wonderful landscapes. The park is famous for the arboreal lions, which hide among the branches of the trees, and the numerous colony of baboons that populate the forest and which will accompany you along the road from the moment you enter the park.

Main Destination:
Lake Manyara National Park
Best Time To Visit June to October (Easier to spot animals)
High Season July to March (The northern section gets crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little rainfall)

Ngorongoro crater

Ngorongoro crater

After an early breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game viewing drive. This is a great opportunity to spot the endangered black rhino, along with a large population of lions, wildebeests, zebras, and more.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the jewel in Ngorongoro's crown, a deep volcanic crater that is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and considered one of the Eighth Wonders of the World. Known for its high density of wildlife, the Crater is one of Africa’s most famous sites. Despite the presence of other vehicles, you are guaranteed exceptional wildlife viewing in this awe-inspiring environment.

There is truly nowhere else in Africa quite like Ngorongoro! In the late afternoon, continue with a short drive to ngedere Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 3

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Breakfast will be served at the lodge, after which we will depart for Tarangire National Park. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River, which flows through it. This river, often referred to as the ‘river of warthogs,’ serves as the sole source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season.

The park features diverse vegetation, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands, and lush groundwater forests. Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant families that gather near the river, as well as sightings of giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest. These animals attract a variety of predators such as lions and leopards. Notably, Tarangire National Park hosts more breeding species of birds than any other location on Earth. Following a packed lunch and an extensive game drive, the guide will drop off to Arusha.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
