Day 01

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Ngorongoro Wild Camp

Pick up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and drive to Ngorongoro Crater for game drives. This is the best place in Tanzania to see black rhinos and prides of lions, including the magnificent black-maned males. There are also lots of colourful flamingoes and a variety of water birds. Other game you can see includes leopard, cheetah, hyena, other members of the antelope family, and small mammals.
In the late afternoon, drive to Ngorongoro Wild Camp.

Overnight at Ngorongoro Wild Camp (with lunch, dinner & breakfast) or similar.

Day 02

Lake Manyara National Park and Return to Moshi or Arusha

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, which takes about 2 hours. As you approach from the east, the Rift Valley escarpment looms on the horizon, forming an impressive backdrop to the lake. In the tall trees of the groundwater forest, monkeys leap from branch to branch, and on the escarpment, elephants stand in the shade of an acacia. Other animals frequently seen are zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, and hippos.
In the afternoon, transfer back to your hotel in Arusha or Moshi, or to the airport.
