Lake Manyara - Serengeti National Park

Game drive in the morning. The park is renowned for its dramatic scenery—from groundwater forests to lakeshore wetlands—and is home to elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, large baboon troops, and the rare tree-climbing lions.
You will enjoy a full day of wildlife viewing with a morning and afternoon game drive, accompanied by a scenic picnic lunch. After travel towards Serengeti National Park, passing through the highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at viewpoints overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater before descending into the endless Serengeti Plains. Lunch will be served upon arrival, followed by your first afternoon game drive.
The central Serengeti (Seronera region) is especially known for big-cat sightings—lion prides, leopard resting in acacia trees, and cheetah hunting on open plains.
