Arusha city to Lake Manyara National Park for full game drive
After an early breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel at 7:00 am drive to Lake Manyara, and arrive there by lunch. After having a packed lunch, you'll go on an afternoon game drive. Lake Manyara is a beautiful park known for its baboons, good elephants, and tree-climbing lions.
The park has a variety of diverse habitats. Rivers flowing off the escarpment and perennial springs below the rift wall support tall, evergreen groundwater forests dominated by Trichilia roka with Broad-Leaved Croton (Croton macrostachyus), sycamore fig (Ficus sycomorus), quinine tree (Rauvolfia caffra) and forest toad-tree. Trees are densest in gorges, along the edge of streams, and in areas where springs emerge. Growing at the edge of the groundwater forest are dense stands of yellow fever trees (Acacia xanthophloea). The flora of Lake Manyara National Park is diverse, with over 670 flowering plant and fern species documented. Most are widespread species; there are few rare or endemic species.

Ngorongoro crater full game drive tour
In the morning after breakfast with picnic lunch boxes, head out for a full day game drive down the crater floor. Ngorongoro crater is an area where people can see the annual migration of wildebeest - one of the wonders of the natural world (along with other animals like zebra and gazelles).
The Ngorongoro Crater is a remarkable landscape feature and is the world's largest caldera. It is home to a great density of wildlife and several threatened species. The area is also important to the deep evolutionary history of humanity, with early hominid footprints being found there that date back 3.6 million years (another excellent place in Africa to learn about early hominids is the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa). In the afternoon, we'll drive back to Arusha. End of the trip.
