The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha National Park Game Drive and Park Landmarks

After breakfast, you'll depart from your Arusha or Moshi accommodations and drive to the park. After entering the park, you will embark on a game drive. Your drive will take you past park landmarks such as the Momella Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater, sometimes known as "Little Ngorongoro."
Your safari vehicle will also go under the Fig tree (Ficus thonningii), whose roots have grown to form an arch large enough for a safari car - elephant size - to pass underneath. You may stop, get out of the car, and take pictures. During lunch, you will stop at a picnic site where you will have your lunch. After that, proceed with the game drive. At around four, you will start leaving the national park for Arusha, where you will spend the night.

Day 02

Tarangire National Park Safari to Manyara

After breakfast, hop in a four-by-four elongated Landcruiser with a pop-up roof, specially designed for African safaris. You will then proceed to Tarangire National Park, where, after check-in, you will have a game drive until lunch hours. For lunch, you will stop at a picnic site, where you will have lunch, then proceed with the afternoon game drive.
At around four, you will depart from the national park and drive to Manyara for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 03

Lake Manyara Wildlife Viewing and Crater Rim Camp

After breakfast, 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 a particular treat. These proud predators lounge in acacia trees, practically begging to be photographed. Bird watchers will find Lake Manyara an absolute delight, with many birds displayed in the park.
Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly coloured lilac-breasted roller. You'll then retire to the campsite at the crater's rim for dinner and a good night's rest.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

After breakfast, you'll enter the Ngorongoro Crater, sometimes considered the 8th Wonder of the World. Home to over 120 mammal species, including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains and large numbers of hippopotami enjoying the cool water. The crater also features an extensive bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures.
You will be graced by the lovely flamingos on Soda Lake. Our highly skilled guides will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a selected few can perform. From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognisable faces. The crater is home to a large number of predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations. After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool. After that, you will drive back to Arusha.
