Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park - Following breakfast at your hotel, our journey to Lake Manyara National Park reveals a scenic tapestry of diverse landscapes. This relatively small yet diverse park is named after the shallow salt lake that covers about seventy percent of its surface area. The soda lake, which floods and dries with the seasons, is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 bird species. During our exploration, you will have the opportunity to see monkeys, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and more. The park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions.

The drive itself is a game drive, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where wildlife sightings are frequent. Expect to see zebras, wildebeests, and perhaps predators even before reaching the Serengeti. As we enter the southern Serengeti, the landscape opens into vast plains, ideal for spotting wildlife. This area is famous for the calving arena for wildebeests during the migration season (December to mid-February), where massive herds of wildebeests and zebras gather. The open plains offer exceptional game viewing with clear sights of lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and more. You will enjoy lunch in Serengeti National Park and, in the evening, be driven to your camp in the Serengeti for an overnight stay and dinner.

The game drive in Central Serengeti encompasses grasslands, woodlands, and riverine areas, offering abundant wildlife encounters. Be prepared for thrilling predator action, as this region boasts a high concentration of big cats. You will enjoy a delicious lunch in the Serengeti picnic area and, in the evening, be driven back to your camp.

Concealed by steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness, including sweeping savannahs, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps—a landscape of dramatic shifts, offering glimpses of wildlife amidst stunning scenery. Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater itself, a natural wonder, we’ll embark on an extraordinary game drive within its caldera. This enclosed ecosystem teems with life, from rare black rhinos to large herds of zebras, wildebeests, and a high concentration of predators. In the late afternoon, we will drive back to Arusha town for dinner and an overnight stay.
