From Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

Your guide will meet you in the morning after breakfast (around 7:00 a.m.) and you will head for the first day of your safari in Lake Manyara National Park!

You will spend the full day in Lake Manyara. Your guide will take you to the drive along the lakeshore, surrounded by a beautiful green forest, whose greenery attracts so many animals to feed on it: zebras, antelopes, buffalos, giraffes, and many others. The entire territory of this park is cut through with groundwater streams that provide a favorable environment for plants and, in addition, for a multitude of birds (including pink flamingos) and African forest animals.

Around lunchtime, you will visit the Maji Moto hot springs and the driver will provide you with personal lunchboxes. After this stop, the safari will continue, and by evening you will be transferred to the hotel.

Ngorongoro Crater

On this day, we highly recommend leaving the hotel as early as possible. This way you will catch the precious morning hours in the Ngorongoro Crater when the animals are most active and extremely engaging to watch at. At 6:30 AM you will set off for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and in about an hour you will already be inside the crater.

Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and exciting of Tanzania's national parks! Here you can find the highest concentration of animals and the widest diversity per square kilometer. You will have the chance to see buffalos, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippos and such feline species as caracals and servals. The luckiest travelers might even see rhinos, whose numbers are rapidly declining today.

You will have lunch near the lake that is home to hippos and continue your safari around the crater. You will be back in the hotel you chose for your stay in Arusha by dinner.
