Detailed safari itinerary

Day 1: Drive from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

After morning breakfast your guide will pick you up and you start your drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This wildlife paradise stretches along the 700 m high Rift Valley Escarpment and is dominated by Lake Manyara. It is here where thousands of flamingos colour the shallow waters pink. Many water birds gather at the lake and more than 400 bird species are found in the park. The diverse vegetation provides a habitat for many animals such as monkeys in the forest, giraffes and antelopes on the grasslands and elephants, the park is also known for its tree climbing lions, after the drive you will return to the lodge for overnight

Day 2: Drive from Lake Manyara Area to Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is the largest park in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes including short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, mountains and lakes. Bizarre rock formations called Kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen. Depending on the season you will witness the migration of thousands of animals which this park is famous for. You will contact an evening game drive in search of wildlife like wildebeest, zebras, lions, leopard, and cheetah later you will return to the lodge for overnight

Day 3: Drive from Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Early morning game viewing is the best way to explore the wonders of Serengeti, so you will be up early to join an early morning game drive. You will return to the camp for breakfast before heading out for another game drive in the park. Here in the Seronera region you will often see wildebeests and zebras in close proximity of lions and other predators such as leopards and cheetahs. After a picnic lunch you will continue your journey towards the Ngorongoro Crater. Once you have reached the crater rim you will enjoy fantastic views of this 600 m deep collapsed volcano and later transfer to the lodge for overnight.

Day 4: Drive from Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast you will drive down the steep and narrow road that takes you into the crater. The slopes are forested but soon the landscape changes to savannah. Here the wildlife is just breath-taking and with a little luck you can observe the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – in just a few hours. You should also see warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After a morning dedicated to game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the crater in the early afternoon to drive back to Arusha, where you will arrive late evening.
