Game drive in Lake Manyara National Park
Today, the driver-guide will pick you up from Arusha and hold a quick briefing before we depart to Lake Manyara National Park entrée gate. Upon arrival at the gate, you will patiently wait for the permits formalities to be issued and registrations.
Once the permits are sorted, get ready to explore one of the smaller but most scenic park – Lake Manyara Park. The spectacular alkaline Lake Manyara forms the centre point of this small and very beautiful park with surprisingly diverse fauna and flora. A circuit drive through the park passes through forest, wetlands, grassy plains and acacia forests, offering views of different animals and multitudes of birds. The park once became famous for tree climbing lions and if you are lucky to spot them you will be amused by the site of these animals lounging on branches in the acacia trees. The shallow Hippo Pool offers excellent opportunities for hippo sightings. Late afternoon we drive to the camp for evening leisure, dinner and overnight.

Remember that the flexibility of having your private guide and private vehicle during a safari shows itself when you want to spend more time following a particular animal in its natural, undisturbed habitat, or when you want to lazy around a bit as you wait for the sun to engulf the horizon with its violet and fire colors or perhaps venture into a sunrise game drive to catch the memories of a morning safari with freshly made coffee and an endless horizon. Your private guide will tailor the experience to accommodate your major interest and passion for the day.

Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater
Waking up with the sounds of the Serengeti plains is a privilege we really enjoy. After breakfast, sit back and enjoy the game drive en route: from Serengeti, the road winds over the crater rim and ending at your final destination: the striking Ngorongoro Crater. Two to three million years ago the large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself. As a result, the crater formed which then created a unique ecosystem with a wide variety of vegetation. The mix of forests, valleys, savannah, craters, lakes and swamps is home for a wide range of animals. This collapsed volcano is one of Tanzania’s most visited destinations, and it’s certainly not hard to see why. One of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders, the crater is home to the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa and is brimming with elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos and even the rare black rhino. Roam the unique landscape from the safety and comfort of your private safari vehicle, and experience nature at its very finest.
