Day 01

Lake Manyara Safari and Maji Moto Hot Springs

In the morning, after breakfast, you will meet your driver and travel to Lake Manyara National Park for your first safari.
The entire territory of this park is crossed by groundwater streams that provide a favourable environment for plants, as well as for many birds, including pink flamingos, and African forest animals.
Around lunchtime, you will visit the Maji Moto hot springs and be provided with a personal lunchbox.
After this stop, the safari will continue, and by evening you will be transferred to a hotel in Ngorongoro for dinner and an overnight stay.

Additional notes: This is your first day on safari, so we ask that you please pay special attention to the national park visitor guidelines and our company recommendations.

Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive

After breakfast, you will descend 600 m into the crater for the game drive. This massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals, ranging from the Big Five - lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo, and leopard - to spotted hyena, as well as some of the more than 500 bird species.
After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch at the Hippo pool, you will leave the caldera. In the late afternoon, you will depart the crater and drive to Arusha town to end your safari.
