Lake Manyara National Park

Your day starts with a healthy, filling breakfast and then you’ll head off to the Lake Manyara National Park, which extends for miles along the emerald base of the gold-flecked Rift Valley escarpment.
The park is a patchwork of forest, arid scrubland, and soda lake and a paradise for bird lovers. The forest is alive with the birdsong and flittering with the antics of monkeys in the forest canopy; giraffes roam the savannah and lions loll in trees, resting in the shade, while hippo families submerge themselves in the waters of the soda lake.
You’ll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch served in the park before going to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

Ngorongoro Crater

After an early but delicious breakfast, you’ll travel into the Crater, which is known as “Africa’s Garden of Eden”; its unique geological formation is at the root of its diversity. Because the crater sides are a barrier to many species migrating in or out, the crater is packed full of wildlife, and there’s an excellent chance of spotting Africa’s Big Five today. You could also encounter vultures, zebra, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas.
The alkaline lake attracts geese, and storks and pink clouds of flamingo, too. Your experienced guide will ensure that you discover all the glorious wonders of nature in this unique place
While staying the night in your accommodation take in the 360-degree views of the Ngorongoro Highlands.
