Day 1

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

Depending on where you’ll be staying in Zanzibar, a driver will come to pick you up at 5:00 am and drive you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. You’ll arrive in Arusha at 9:20 am where a professional guide will be waiting to greet and brief you on the journey you’re about to embark.

After the briefing, you'll then drive for 2 hours to Lake Manyara National Park.

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is stunningly beautiful. Many of Africa's most well-known creatures can be expected to be seen, with tree-climbing lions being a special treat. These self-assured predators sit under acacia branches and are surely a marvel to see.

You'll also explore the landscape and the rich flora and fauna inside the park. You'll marvel at the African elephant, a zebra, or a majestic cheetah in pursuit of prey.

Following a midday picnic lunch, you'll resume the afternoon game drive before driving to Kankari Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Into the Crater's Heart

Into the Crater's Heart

Following an early breakfast, you'll drive from Kankari Lodge to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You'll then descend 600 meters into the crater for our last wildlife viewing.

This stunning place will offer you almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino(we'll be the luckiest travelers if we spot one).

Lunch will then be served at the crater's base about lunchtime near a hippo lake and after that. Now you'll have two options to pick from.

You could wait in the park and go for an evening game drive. Or you could take your last photos in the park and head back to Kankari Lodge for a nice evening swimming session and relaxation.

The choice is fully yours to decide dear friends.
