Distance covered: 130 km

After breakfast and a briefing in the morning, you’ll depart from your hotel in Arusha and be transferred to Lake Manyara National Park. This journey takes up to two and a half hours and covers around 130 km. You’ll pass through amazing landscapes and vibrant African villages along the way.

We arrive in time for an afternoon lunch at the lodge, and soon after lunch, we will head into Lake Manyara for a game drive. This Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically placed wildlife areas, comprised of an enormous but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) positioned below the Great East African Rift Valley’s western escarpment.

The park’s diverse habitat attracts many animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of enormous elephants. You will also come across Lake Manyara’s exceptional tree-climbing lions and large flocks of pink flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.

Dinner and overnight will be served in the evening as per the standard requested.

Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner.

Driving from Lake Manyara to Serengeti National Park, we will pass through a crater rim with its enormous landscape. Distance covers up to 6 hours with approximately 205 km to reach one of the African wonders, the Serengeti National Park, with its dramatic wildlife adventure, including a well-famed wildebeest annual migration
We will arrive in time to enjoy an early afternoon lunch and later, followed by a Serengeti National Park game drive going deep into the migration corridor.

With its savannah plains and creature-filled landscape in the afternoon, the legendary Serengeti typifies the dream of “Old Africa.” A considerable pride of lions lounge in the long grasses, and elephants, monkeys, eland, gazelles, giraffes, and the whole range of wildlife can be seen at the park in overwhelming numbers.

The arrangements made before the Safari will determine the location of dinner and overnight stay, which could be at a public campsite, hotel, or lodge, depending on the chosen standard and accommodation option.

The drive from Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area covers 145 km and takes 4 hours or less.

You can experience a unique adventure by gliding in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti Plains. Floating quietly above the Serengeti gives a fantastic view while allowing you to spot wildlife activities from above and appreciate the tremendous African scenery over small villages and rivers.

After a picnic lunch, you will resume your game drive inside the Ngorongoro crater. During the journey to Ngorongoro Crater, the driver guide will provide information about Tanzania’s animals and natural beauty, including details about the various animal species along the way. Overnight stay will be at the crater rim overlooking a well-shaped part of the Great Rift Valley; overnight stay will be at Ngorongoro Crater Accommodations.
