Lake Manyara National Park
Pick up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some possible extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. Afternoon return to your accoodation for dinner.

Day 2
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we head towards the Serengeti National Park via the beautiful, high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park - with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source and attracts wildlife representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight in the camp.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will set out on a half-day game drive in Serengeti National Park. Later, you will begin your journey toward the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater.
The central Serengeti is renowned for its many lion prides, which tend to gather closer to the heart of the park during the dry season, making this a prime time for sightings. This area is also one of the best places in Africa to spot leopard, and with some luck, you may encounter one resting in the branches of a sausage tree near the Seronera River.
In the afternoon, you will continue to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for your overnight stay at Ngorongoro Camp.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Highlands to Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Highlands to Ngorongoro Crater
On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the Black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
