• After breakfast, the tour departs. We head to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara National Park offers breathtaking views and a large variety of habitats, Acacia woodlands, water forests, baobab strewn cliffs, algae-streaked hot springs, swamps and the lake itself. And thanks to this, the small Park is able to support a large number of animal species and incredible bird life. Manyara has the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world and the lions here are also renowned for their tree climbing. 

Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.

Meals: Lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast

Accommodation: Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Distance: 50 km

Non-game-viewing time: 2 - 3 hours

• After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.

• We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.

• Late afternoon, transfer back to Tulia Lodge in Arusha for dinner, and overnight stay or airport drop off.
