Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands

You will get up before sunrise today and go out for a two-hour game drive before breakfast. In the first hours of the day, your chances of seeing predators are the best. You may also get a chance to see nocturnal animals like the striped hyena, bush baby, and caracal. You'll have breakfast at the lodge, then another game drive in the Serengeti before you drive to Ngorongoro Crater. You'll arrive at your lodge, in the mountains just beyond the rim of the crater, at dusk. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the campsite.

Ngorongoro Crater

You'll have an early breakfast, then drive down to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is a crater by name only; geologically, it is a caldera, a collapsed volcano. Ngorongoro is the world’s largest unbroken caldera with a diameter of about 21 km. Inside the crater, the climate is perfect for animals with water available all year round and cooler temperatures than the surrounding savannah. Ngorongoro Crater is your best chance to see rhinos, and you may also see lions, hyenas, elephants, hippos, cheetahs, wildebeest, zebras, and many kinds of birds and monkeys. Mid-afternoon, you'll leave Ngorongoro and drive back to Arusha, where your guide drops you off at your hotel.

Lake Manyara National Park

Start your day with an early morning game drive in the beautiful Lake Manyara National Park, where the rising sun brings the park to life. As the mist lifts from the Great Rift Valley escarpment, you’ll explore diverse landscapes — from lush groundwater forests and open savannahs to the shimmering alkaline lake.

This morning drive offers excellent opportunities to spot elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, and the park’s famous tree-climbing lions. You may also encounter large troops of baboons and an incredible variety of birdlife, including flamingos, pelicans, and hornbills.

Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the park’s breathtaking scenery before continuing with your day’s adventure.
