5-Day Northern Tanzania Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Have breakfast before the tour departs. The first stop is Arusha town for any last-minute purchases before we head off on safari.
• Head to Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park offers breathtaking views and a large variety of habitats, including Acacia woodlands, water forests, baobab-strewn cliffs, algae-streaked hot springs, swamps, and the lake itself. Thanks to all this, the small park can support a large number of animal species and incredible birdlife. 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 a 4.8-star lodge/hotel.

• Have breakfast, and depart for Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
• Descend into the heart of wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park - with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.
• Head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
• Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park.

• Enjoy early morning game drives and depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
• Stop over at Olduvai Gorge, boasting a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here that the anthropologists Drs. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of "Nutcracker Man" and "Handy Man," both very significant links in the chain of human evolution.

• Have an early breakfast, and descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big drawcard 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.
• Get back to the hotel in Moshi for an overnight stay.
