Activities will include a wildlife game drive where you can see pythons climb trees, as well as lions and leopards among others. For bird lovers, keep an eye out for the screeching flocks of colorful yellow-collared lovebirds, and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling. These are all endemic to the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania.

After breakfast, you will set off to Lake Manyara National Park for yet another exciting game drive. Lake Manyara National Park is a scenic lake that made Ernest Hemingway exclaim "the loveliest I had seen in Africa." Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and if you are lucky, you can expect to see 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will depart for a full-day game drive at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. It is not a national park in the strict sense of the word but was rather established to conserve wildlife and other natural resources. It exists to safeguard the interests of indigenous people as well as promote tourism. Thus, guests on safari have the unique experience of seeing Maasai herdsmen with their cattle among the tremendous variety of wildlife found in the area.
Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will set off for Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch, and a game drive en route via Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and recently proclaimed 7th Wonder of the World, Serengeti is famed for its annual migration where some six million hooves pound the open plains. Between July to October, you can witness an actual survival of the fittest as these animals plunge through crocodile-infested waters. The wildebeest produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.
Serengeti offers an exotic game-viewing experience in the whole of Africa giving you an up-close look at the animals you've only seen in National Geographic: great herds of buffalos, smaller groups of elephants and giraffes, and thousands of elands, topi, kongonis, impalas and Grant’s gazelles. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp.

Serengeti National Park (North Kogatende )

You will witness a million wildebeests, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north.
