After breakfast, you will head to Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Leaving the highlands behind, you will descend into the heart of wild Africa — the Serengeti National Park — with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.
You will head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
You'll arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. You'll enjoy a beautiful sunset at our Seronera public campsite, followed by dinner.

Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
Your final day of safari begins in the morning, as usual, after a delicious breakfast. The destination for today is Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park, with a picnic lunch for a full-day game drive.
As you enter the national park, lush forests of acacia and mahogany trees begin to set the mood for what is waiting ahead. The game drive continues until evening, with a short break for a picnic lunch.
During the game drive, watch out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. Another spectacle of Lake Manyara National Park is the tree-climbing lions; however, spotting them is a game of luck.
In the right season, you can see the shoreline turn pink as millions of flamingos flock there. After the game drive, you will head back to Arusha to your chosen destination, either a hotel or airport drop-off.
