Day 1
Arusha to Lake Manyara
Arusha to Lake Manyara
After breakfast in Arusha, you will travel to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day wildlife drive and picnic lunch. Later, you'll head to Lake Manyara Fanaka Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. Lake Manyara, which stretches over 50 kilometers at the base of the reddish gold 600-meter-high Rift Valley escarpment, is a picturesque jewel with a setting described by Ernest Hemingway as "the loveliest I had seen in Africa". The short game-viewing circuit through Manyara provides a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. From the entrance gate, the route winds through a beautiful jungle-like groundwater forest, with hundreds of baboon squads lounging casually along the way. Blue monkeys run nimbly amongst the ancient mahogany trees, delicate bushbuck cautiously step through the shadows, and massive forest hornbills squawk cacophonously in the lofty canopy.

Mto wa mbu to Serengeti National park
After breakfast, head to Serengeti National Park for a wildlife drive and picnic lunch. Seronera Campsite will serve dinner and provide your overnight accommodations.
A million wildebeest, each propelled by the same old rhythm, playing an instinctual role in the unbreakable cycle of life. They go on a frenetic three-week campaign of territorial conquest and mating. It's survival of the fittest when 40km (25 miles) long columns dive into crocodile-infested waters during the annual migration north. The species is replenished in a temporary population explosion that generates over 8,000 calves every day before the 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) trek resumes.
