Lake Manyara National Park

We will pick you up from your accommodation and take a 2-hour drive to Lake Manyara National Park. We will register at the park's gate, and from there, our game drive begins. Around the park's entrance is a green forest; you might see primates in the trees above. Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania's smaller parks with unique beauty. The park is known for its resident tree-climbing lions. You will also have opportunities to take photos on this safari. In addition, you will observe giraffes, elephants, and antelopes. We will stop for lunch at a designated picnic site on the shore of Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park is a great place for bird watchers; expect to see a wide range of big and small birds and many colorful ones.

In the late afternoon, we will drive to Karatu for our dinner and overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we will drive to the Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning, check-in at the gate, and descend 600m to reach the crater floor. The size of the crater floor is 260 square kilometers. The Ngorongoro Crater is a self-dependent ecosystem, home to carnivores and herbivores. If you are lucky, you may see the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffaloes). At Lake Magadi, you will see several water birds, including beautiful flamingoes, herons, and pelicans. The Lerai Forest is home to baboons, monkeys, elephants, bushbucks, waterbucks, and even leopards! The Munge River is the source of fresh water in the area and has swamp areas—the place to see hippos and other animals as they graze. In the afternoon, we will take you to a picnic site where you can see hippos up close.

After lunch, we have an en-route game drive as we ascend from the crater floor and drive directly to Serengeti National Park.

Today you will have a full-day game drive in Central Serengeti, searching for the Big Five and other animals. The Serengeti National Park is a wide park stretching over 15,000 square kilometers. Each part of the park has its seasonal visitors, and the animals you will see depend on the time you visit the park. Due to the migrating and resident animals, we will stay in Central Serengeti.
