Lake Manyara National Park

You will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and depart for Lake Manyara National Park with a packed picnic lunch, ready for a full-day game drive. As you enter the park, the lush forests of Acacia and Mahogany set the tone for the adventure ahead.

The game drive continues into the evening, with a break in between to enjoy your lunch amidst nature. Keep an eye out for a variety of wildlife, including buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. One of the park’s most famous—and elusive—attractions is the tree-climbing lions, though spotting them depends on your luck.

If you’re visiting in the right season, you may also witness a stunning sight as the lake’s shoreline turns pink with thousands of flamingos gathering there.

After the game drive, you’ll return to your lodge or camp, where a delicious dinner will be waiting for you.

Ngorongoro Crater

On the final day of your safari, the adventure begins early. After a quick breakfast, you'll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater—the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. Spanning approximately 260 square kilometers and plunging over 2,000 feet deep, the crater offers an extraordinary landscape teeming with wildlife.

Your game drive across the crater floor promises exceptional wildlife sightings, so keep your camera ready. The area is home to an abundance of animals, including African elephants, buffaloes, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions.

Midday, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch at the picturesque Hippo Pool before beginning the steep ascent to the crater’s rim. This marks the final leg of your safari as you set off on a scenic 4-hour drive back to Arusha.

You’ll be dropped off at your preferred location in Arusha by evening, carrying with you unforgettable memories and a truly incredible safari experience.
