Day 2

Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park

Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park

After an Early breakfast, depart to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive. 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 hundred-strong 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 in the high canopy.

Contrasting with the intimacy of the forest is the grassy floodplain and its expansive views eastward across the Alkakine Lake. Large buffalo, wildebeest and zebra herds congregate on these grassy plains, as do giraffes some so dark in coloration that they appear to be black from a distance. A fully day game drive will make you enjoy the breathing taking scenery. Dinner and Overnight at Migombani Campsite.

Day 5

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Breakfast at the Camp, with packed lunch drive to Ngorongoro Crater for a wonderful game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is just one of those places that has to be seen – words alone cannot do it justice. Leaving our lodge, we’ll drive down into what was once, many eons ago, the fiery heart of a huge volcano. Today this natural amphitheater has a much more peaceful atmosphere as Wildebeest, Coke’s Hartebeest, Grant’s and Thomson’s Gazelles, and Common Zebra feed contentedly - or at least as contentedly as the ever present Lions and Cheetah will allow, although the Black Rhinoceros here will be less concerned about these predators. The bird life in the crater varies according to the seasons but during our visit we should see Grey Crowned Crane, Lappet-faced Vulture, Black-bellied and Kori Bustards, Fischer’s Lovebird and Northern Anteater Chat among many others. Later we drive to Migombani Campsite.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
