After breakfast, you will set off early in the morning for Lake Manyara National Park, an untouched paradise renowned for its diverse birdlife and tree-climbing lions. The park's western border is defined by the dramatic escarpment of the Rift Valley, while to the east lies the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara. This lake, which floods and dries with the seasons, is home to thousands of flamingos during the rainy months. The name Manyara is derived from the Maasai word 'emanyara,' referring to a common plant used to construct protective enclosures around family homesteads (bomas). The park boasts a variety of vegetation types, from savannah to evergreen forest. As you explore, you may encounter giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and, if you’re fortunate, lions resting in the trees.

Lake Manyara National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, you will descend into the crater, which is nearly 600 meters deep. This crater was formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago. It is renowned for its geological wonders and as a natural reserve that hosts some of the highest densities of large mammal populations found anywhere in Africa. The drive down into the crater itself is an adventure, and once you reach the crater floor, you'll find yourself surrounded by numerous wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 species of birds. The crater offers the best opportunity to see the endangered black rhinos, which can occasionally be spotted in the open grasslands. After lunch and an extensive game drive within the crater, you will make your way to our luxurious lodge at the crater's rim for dinner and your overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park to Zanzibar
After breakfast, you will head directly to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) and through Stone Town, where your flight arrangements can be made at an additional cost. From there, you will travel to the northern coast of Zanzibar, known as Nungwi, which boasts white coral sands that seem to glow even after sunset. Despite its lively atmosphere, Nungwi retains a sense of seclusion. Its expansive coastline is perfect for swimming and snorkeling in some of Africa's most pristine, reef-rich waters. This beach is one of the few in Zanzibar that remains largely unaffected by the extreme tidal fluctuations, making it ideal for all-day water activities.
There are numerous activities available, such as walking tours, sunset cruises, diving excursions, and parasailing, but simply watching traditional dhow boats bobbing in the water during sunset can truly captivate you in this enchanting African paradise. You will spend three nights in this incredible location.
