Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast you will depart Arusha at 8:30am en route to Lake Manyara National Park with a picnic lunch in hand. After a full-day game drive you will make your way to Migombani Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.
Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa.” The compact game-viewing circuit through Lake Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy. At the end of the afternoon, you will make your way to Migombani Campsite for overnight.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will start descending into the plains. Today is one big game drive, wherever you drive, you can encounter animals. When passing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area you will get a fantastic chance to have a look at how the Maasai live, when passing their “boma’s” (villages) or when watching them herd their cattle in the vast Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word Siringiti: endless plains. When entering the Serengeti, it becomes clear quite soon that this is a very fitting name. As far as the eye reaches you find the plains, only interrupted by an occasional tree, kopje (rock formation) or wildlife. During the Great Migration these plains are literally covered in animals, wildebeests and zebras, in search of grazing and water and participating in one of the largest annual movements of mammals on earth. At the end of the afternoon, you will go to Nyani Campsite for dinner and overnight.

The driver will take you on a search for the lions, leopard and cheetah. You will find large numbers of hippos in one of the pools in the park, or may be the vervet monkeys or baboons managing to charm you with their acrobatic tricks. Giraffes that elegantly move over the plains, high above everything and everyone, eating the leaves from the acacia trees without even bothering about the thorns, hyenas trying to defend their prey from the lions. All in all, a day full of unforgettable impressions!

All the animals of the “Big Five” (elephant, Black Rhino, Buffaloes, Leopard and the Lion) can be found in the crater. In Lake Magadi, Flamingos look for their food while Hippos cool down in the sweet water pools after their grazing outing at night. In the Lerai Forest Elephant with giant tusks pull leaves and branches from the trees while on the plains Wildebeests, Zebras and Antelopes are grazing. Lions often look for the shade, sometimes even the shade of a car. After making a day in the crater and overwhelming experience a driver will take you to Migombani Camp Site for dinner and overnight.
