Lake Manyara National Park

You take a walking tour of the farming town of Mto wa Mbu after breakfast. This village is unlike any other in Tanzania because it is the home of more than 120 distinct African communities, resulting in a vibrant fusion of customs. You will visit rice and banana plantations, a school, a local beer factory, and a carving factory with your walking guide. Explore the villagers' customary way of life. Proceed to Lake Manyara National Park, which is a short drive from Mto wa Mbu, by car. The enormous soda lake at Lake Manyara, home to pink-hued flamingos, is well-known for its amazing birdlife, baboon population, and scenic vistas.

Day 4

Serengeti National Park (west)

Serengeti National Park (west)

You make your way to the well-known Serengeti National Park this morning. You will make a stop in a Maasai village along the way to learn more about this graceful warrior culture. After arriving in the Serengeti, you have a picnic for lunch before going on an amazing game drive. When you visit this region of the Serengeti between May and July, you can witness a significant shift—the Great Migration of wildebeest crossing the Grumeti River. The herds have to dodge the swift-moving water and crocodiles before coming up against the predators that are waiting on the other side. A magnificent show. You spend the evening and night at the stunning Mbalageti Lodge.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Serengeti National Park (west)

Get up early to leave your lodge and spend the entire day traveling across the plains with the herds, taking in the sights and sounds of the Great Migration.

The Serengeti is the best place to go if you want to see all five of the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo) in one park. Go back to Mbalageti Lodge where you will spend the night and dinner. The lodge boasts amazing views of the Serengeti.
