Lake Manyara National Park, located in the Great Rift Valley, is a magnificent park with a diverse range of fauna and sceneries to appreciate. There are numerous monkeys, Zebras, Wildebeests, Hippos, Giraffes, Waterbucks, Dik-diks, Impalas, and Tree climbing Lions to name a few. It is most renowned for its more than 5,000 recorded bird species, which include migrating flamingos and a variety of water birds drawn to the park's alkaline lake, which covers a considerable amount of its land.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha City

After an early breakfast at the lodge, depart for a game drive on the Ngorongoro crater floor.

This long-extinct volcano is the world's largest intact caldera and is regarded as one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations on the planet. Diverse habitats, including permanent wetlands, shelter within its steep-sided walls, supporting an astonishing number of animals. Ngorongoro has long been home to a thriving population of big game species, including great-tusked elephants, healthy black rhinos, and the famous black-maned lions.

This is one of the few places in Africa where you can see the Big 5 on a single game drive, and there's plenty more to see. Gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra herds live here, as do smaller predators such as caracal and serval cats, as well as lions and their eternal adversaries, spotted hyenas.

After our enjoyable game, we ascend and drive for drop off at your own booked hotel in Arusha city. (Please advice where you have booked for smooth drop off).
