The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

Leave for Lake Manyara, where we will spend the day and enjoy a delectable picnic lunch. The park is nestled at the base of the rusty-gold Great Rift Valley escarpment, and the scenic landscape is breathtakingly fascinating. An abundance of species thrives in the park due to its wide range of habitats.
The park's record includes over 380 species of birds, some of which are migratory, making it an ideal location for bird watchers. Thousands of pink-hued flamingos occupy the lake's margins, while other large water birds include pelicans, storks, and cormorants.
The wildlife you can expect to see includes buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and the ferocious hippos that inhabit the water.
End your trip to Lake Manyara.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

Start early to ensure we complete the day's route, which combines a grand game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals often move in and out of the crater despite its inflated walls, and this means you have a strong chance of spotting every member of the Big Five within one day.
Spot animals including buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Other wildlife you can expect to see includes zebras, hippos, wildebeests, and hyenas. The crater also supports a large bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures. You will be pleased by the view of lovely flamingos on Soda Lake.
Our guides are highly professional and will thrill you with their capability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a selected few can perform.
Your trip will end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed back to Arusha.
