DAY 2 - Lake Manyara National park

After breakfast in Arusha, you will start your safari with a drive to the Lake Manyara National Park. Established in 1960, the small Lake Manyara National Park is home to tree-climbing lions, elephants, and large troops of baboons and monkeys. The park is dominated by the shallow, alkaline lake and boasts of diverse habitats like grassy plains, escarpment, and forest. Here hundreds of bird species gather, most notable, thousands of pink flamingos. In addition to the striking scenery, you have the chance to see giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, wildebeests, and the comical warthog. The safari vehicle has an open roof and is the ideal viewing platform to appreciate the nature and animals of this park. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and travel to the Lodge, where you will spend the night.

DAY 3 - Ngorongoro Crater

Rise and shine! After an early breakfast, you will drive down the steep path into the crater just. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest, unbroken, and unflooded caldera in the world and it has an unbelievable diversity of wildlife. In addition to zebras and wildebeests, you might also spot the rare black rhino and other members of the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. The crater is also home to other animals such as hyenas, waterbucks, bushbucks, eland, and more than 500 bird species. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the caldera in the early afternoon and drive Serengeti overnight.

Accommodation:

DAY 4 -5 - Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive towards the plains of the Serengeti National Park, the largest park in Tanzania. The Serengeti has a diversity of landscapes including short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes and it is famous for the yearly migration when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras trek to find fresh grass and water. On your way to your accommodation, you will understand, where the word Serengeti (plains in the language of the Masai) comes from.

The two whole days will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south while during the longer rainy season from April to June they return back up north. This circle of life is determined by the rainfalls and the locations of the herds might vary from year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. A visit to the Serengeti Visitor Centre is also possible. Here you can learn more about the history of the park and the research that is being done by the Frankfurter Zoological Society. You will spend three nights at the Tented Camps

Accommodation:

DAY 6 - Serengeti to Tarangire national park
