Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park

   • After a good night's sleep, today is the ‘day of the lions’. An early breakfast before checking out, and after that, you will be driven to Lake Manyara National Park itself. The park is approximately 330 square kilometres, of which 200 square kilometres make up the lake when water levels are at a maximum. From a sea of pink flamingos as far as the eye can see to bull elephants at close range, Lake Manyara showcases a superb variety of herd animals and birdlife. One of the very special aspects of this park is the tree-climbing lions. After exploring this park with its groundwater forest, mid-afternoon, you commence the drive back to the lodge, to where it all started; heart and camera full of memories from your African safari adventure.

2. Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

   • After breakfast, we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.
   • Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, after which we will return to Arusha, where we will end our African safari adventure.
     The group should tip the tour guide around $20 daily for all our safaris. You will be taken to your hotel, which ends our safari package services.
