In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel and after a short briefing you will set off to the Lake Manyara National Park. It’s the smallest park in the famous safari circuit of northern Tanzania but with the biggest variety of habitat than the big Serengeti National Park. See the underground water forest, acacia woodland, the lake, marsh land, rivers and hill side savannah. A lot of water birds gather around the water bodies and more than 450 species have been recorded. The diverse vegetation provides a habitat for many animals such as monkeys, baboons, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, and if you are lucky, you might see the tree-climbing lions. {Don’t kill yourself for these just take it as a bonus.} Dinner and your overnight stay at Africa Safari Gampling.

Day 2

Mount of Kopjes

Mount of Kopjes

After breakfast, you'll drive towards the fertile crater highlands where the farmers grow wheat, corn and coffee. You'll pass the Ngorongoro Crater before you reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park at around midday. The Serengeti is the largest park in Tanzania and it has a diversity of habitats and landscapes including short grass plains, 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'll witness the migration of thousands of animals for which this park is famous for. During the short rains in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. This circle of life is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls and the locations of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. Dinner and your overnight stay are at the Serengeti Wild Tented Camp.
