7-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Depart at 08:30 am from Moshi or Arusha and transfer by our special safari vehicles to Lake Manyara National Park for game viewing with packed lunch boxes. Lake Manyara National Park has a wonderful mosaic of different habitats, which attracts a whole host of animals, including a high density of elephants.
• Look out for monkeys, antelopes, zebras, and hippos as well. There are also lions, and some have developed the unusual behaviour of climbing trees for their afternoon snooze. However, they have not mastered the art of dragging their kill high into the branches, as the leopard is so adept at doing.
• Birdlife is fascinating at Lake Manyara, and numbers are at their peak during the rainy season, when seed-eaters, insect-eaters, and waterbirds thrive. Nomadic quelea (finch-like birds) gather in breeding flocks of many thousands and fly across Lake Manyara National Park in vast twittering clouds. Pelicans, storks, geese, herons, and cormorants share their water world with migrant flamingoes, which come to feed on the algae-rich water and turn the crystalline edges of the soda lake vibrant pink.

Dinner and overnight at Lake Manyara Hotel or Jambo Campsite.
