Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, your guide will meet you at your Arusha-area location and hold a quick briefing before heading to Lake Manyara National Park. Enjoy a game drive in the park: look for tree-climbing lions, giraffes, hippos and flocks of vibrant flamingos at this park shaped by a crater lake.

Mto wa Mbu

Enjoy a local village walk in the community of Mtu wa Mbu, which stands just outside the park gates. Stroll through a rice plantation or a produce market and get a feel for the traditional, but vibrant community.

Lake Manyara Viewpoint

Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
Accommodation: Overnight at Shuhudia Tented Camp or similar. A tented camp set in nature with hot showers, hardwood floors and campfire

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, begin the drive to Serengeti National Park. The route takes you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and you will likely see animals such as gazelles, wildebeests, and zebras throughout the drive. The scenery throughout the drive is beautiful: lush hills, mountains, and expansive grasslands. There is a brief stop at the Ngorongoro Gate, with options to wait at rest stops, as necessary.

Naabi Hill

Enter Serengeti National Park through Naabi Hill gate. Here you will get your first glance of the "endless grasslands" that Serengeti is famous for. The site has outdoor picnic tables, ideal for enjoying lunch.

Serengeti National Park

Enjoy a game drive through the Ndutu area and into Central Seronera. Herds such as zebras, gazelles, and other grazers live here year-round, as well as their predators. You will have 3-4 hours of a game drive before heading to your overnight accommodation.

Day 3: Full Day Serengeti Game Drive

After breakfast, enjoy a full day of game viewing in Serengeti National Park. You may traverse through the Seronera area, looking for cheetahs and buffalo, or head to Lobo Valley (the Big Cat Capital of Africa), in search of leopards and lions, or Moru Kopjes, where rhinos might be spotted. Enjoy your picnic lunch at your leisure, and head back to your overnight accommodation in time for sunset.

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

2 stops
Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks

Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, enjoy a game drive back through Ndutu area as you head out of Serengeti National Park. Past clients have spotted lions, giraffes, hyenas, and zebras during this drive - so expect to see some wildlife as you depart the most famous national park in the world.

Ngorongoro Crater

4h
Admission ticket included

After entering into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will head to the famous Ngorongoro Crater and descend to the crater floor. Enjoy a game drive in the world's largest, intact volcanic caldera and home to one of the most dense populations of mammals found on earth. Here, lions, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, elands, hippos and so many more animals live year-round. The endangered Black Rhino also calls the Crater home. We recommend taking lunch at the famous Hippo Pool and counting as many tropical bird species as you can during your meal time. In the late afternoon, ascend back out of the Crater and head to your Karatu-area accommodation for sunset, dinner and overnight.

Participate in a cultural dance, and try saying a few words in Maa.
