ITINERARY

Day 1

Arusha – Lake Manyara

In the morning you’ll drive across the floor of the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park. This beautiful park with its lush vegetation and tropical forests of giant fig and mahogany trees, takes its name from the Maasai word for “euphorbia tirucalli”, a bush which is used to make a thorny hedge to protect their cattle. Elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra and a variety of antelope inhabit the park as well as a variety of monkeys and a large population of hippos. If you are lucky you may see the Manyara lions, well known for their tree climbing habits, lazily resting on the branches of an “Acacia tortilis” tree.

The birdlife is also abundant with flamingos, pelicans, hornbills and plenty of forest species.

Overnight at Serena Lodge or Escarpment Lodge at Lake Manyara. 

Lunchbox and dinner included

Day 2

Ngorongoro

After breakfast you proceed for Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After arrival you decent into the crater for a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) inside the Ngorongoro Crater. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. Your Driver/Guide will be in contact with other safari drivers and will amaze you with his skill at locating the hidden animals. Late afternoon proceed on your way to Serengeti National Park with game viewing en route.

Overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge or Ngorongoro Farmhouse 

Lunchbox and dinner included

Day 3

Ngorongoro – Tarangire

Your tour proceeds with the drive to Tarangire, Tanzania’s third largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and up to six thousand elephants. A cultural visit with the semi-nomadic tribes are also included.
