Itinerary

Arusha To Lake Manyara NP

Lake Manyara

After breakfast from Arusha, you will proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive with picnic lunches. Later you will proceed to Lake Manyara Omega View Hotel for dinner and your overnight stay. Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.

Serengeti

After breakfast, proceed to Serengeti National Park for a game drive with picnic lunches. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Seronera Campsite. A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life. They go on a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating. It's survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested water.
