Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, leave Tarangire and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Explore its forest and woodland habitats with your private guide, looking for elephants, baboons, monkeys and birds. Tree-climbing lions are a possibility rather than a promise. Stop for lunch during the day, then continue towards the Ngorongoro Highlands. Check in at Naserian Safari Camp for dinner and overnight. Your guide balances wildlife viewing and the road journey so that the family can reach camp before evening.

Explore the grassland and wetland habitats with your guide, looking for lions, buffalo, elephants and other resident wildlife. A rhino sighting is possible but never guaranteed.

Serengeti National Park

Travel from the Ngorongoro Highlands to Central Serengeti on the first of these two days, with lunch and a game drive en route as conditions permit.

Spend the following day exploring Northern Serengeti with your guide, looking for the migration herds and resident wildlife.
