6-Day Tanzania Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

• Drive to Lake Manyara National Park in the morning. Set against the steep escarpment of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park features an evergreen groundwater forest and various ecosystems, including acacia woodland, grassy plains, a swampy fan delta, and, of course, the expansive lake. This diversity attracts a wide variety of mammal, bird, and wildlife species.
• Manyara is also home to rare tree-climbing lions. The park offers excellent game viewing, with buffalo, impala, giraffe, bushbuck, waterbuck, hippos, and many elephants roaming near the lake. Also look out for blue monkeys, vervet monkeys, and very active olive baboons.

• Head out after breakfast for the drive to Serengeti National Park. "Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai language, meaning "endless plain".
• Optionally, en route to the Serengeti, visit a Maasai village, a perfect place to explore Maasai culture and even participate in some tribal activities.
• You may also choose to visit Olduvai Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humanity. The museum stands as a testament to the long journey humanity has made from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on earth.
• Enjoy a game drive en route to your camp.

• Relax with a full day in the Serengeti with game drives, unequalled for its beauty and home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Huge herds of plains game, such as wildebeest, zebra, and antelope, dominate the park, while predators such as lion and cheetah can be found among the many kopjes scattered across the plain. The landscape varies from open grass plains in the south and savanna with scattered acacia trees in the centre to hilly, wooded grassland in the north, as well as extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.

As the only water source during the dry season, it draws hundreds of animals to the park, making for spectacular wildlife and bird viewing. The landscape is varied, with grassy savannah plains, swamps, hills, and spectacular baobabs.
