Lake Manyara National Park | Scenic Game Viewing

Your luxury safari adventure begins in Arusha, where your private guide will meet you at your accommodation or the airport. After a briefing, you'll head out in your fully equipped 4x4 safari vehicle toward Lake Manyara National Park—a stunning park at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment.

Upon arrival, begin your game drive in the park, known for its lush landscapes, stunning vistas, and incredible biodiversity. As you travel through the park’s varied ecosystems, keep your eyes peeled for the famous tree-climbing lions, a large population of elephants, and herds of buffaloes and wildebeest. The park is also a birdwatcher's paradise, home to flamingos, pelicans, and over 400 species of birds.

Break for a gourmet lunch at a scenic spot within the park, surrounded by the park’s striking landscape. In the afternoon, continue your game drive before heading to your luxury lodge just outside the park for an elegant evening surrounded by nature.

Ngorongoro Crater | Full-Day Game Drive in the Natural Wonder

After an early breakfast, your guide will drive you to the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most famous and spectacular wildlife destinations in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage site is often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” due to its astounding concentration of wildlife within a vast volcanic caldera.

On your descent into the crater, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the lush floor below. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to the Big Five, and you’ll have the chance to observe lions, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos up close. The soda lakes attract flamingos, while the lush grasslands are teeming with wildebeest, gazelles, and zebras. This wildlife paradise also supports a large population of cheetahs and leopards.

Stop for a luxurious picnic lunch inside the crater, providing a chance to relax while surrounded by dramatic landscapes and wildlife. After lunch, continue exploring the crater’s rich ecosystems. In the late afternoon, ascend the crater and head to the hotel.

After breakfast, check out and drive southeast to Tarangire National Park, known for its dramatic landscapes and one of the highest elephant populations in East Africa. This park is beautifully unique with its ancient baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River.

Begin your final game drive, watching for elephants, wildebeests, lions, cheetahs, impalas, and over 500 bird species. Tarangire offers fantastic wildlife viewing, especially during the dry season when animals concentrate around the river.
