4-Day Tanzania Safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• You'll depart from Arusha after breakfast for the drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The journey takes approximately two hours, and along the way, you'll pass through the market town of Mto Wa Mbu. This agricultural and fresh produce market is a melting pot of local cultures and a souvenir hunter's paradise. After a brief stop at the village market, you'll enter Lake Manyara National Park. The park is truly a photographer's playground and offers some of the best game viewing in the world. You can expect to see many of Africa's most well-known animals, with the tree-climbing lions being a particular treat. These proud predators lounge in acacia trees, practically begging to be photographed.
• Birdwatchers will find Lake Manyara an absolute delight, with a wide variety of birds found throughout the park. Even novices can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly coloured lilac-breasted roller. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and head to the nearby Kizumba campsite to spend the night.

• After breakfast, we head towards Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we 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. We continue 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 and therefore attracts wildlife representative of many Serengeti species.
• We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight will be at a camp.

• After breakfast, you will enjoy a game drive in Serengeti National Park. With your lunch box, you will follow the animal migration in the Northern Serengeti, wherever the migration is at the time. You may be able to see wildebeest, zebra, topi, hartebeest, eland, antelope, hyena, and varieties of birds singing in the trees, while also taking in the beauty of the landscape and nature. After lunch, you will continue with game viewing in the Serengeti, heading towards the park gate to check out of Serengeti National Park. From there, you will proceed with game viewing en route to Ngorongoro Crater.

Dinner and overnight at a campsite on the rim of the crater.

• After breakfast, descend into the crater with your lunch box and enjoy a game drive for over six hours. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world's most densely populated African wildlife areas 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 crater sustains a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another major draw of this picturesque national park is its vast predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard on the crater floor.
• After a picnic lunch, you will continue with a game drive. Later in the afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha Town.
