Itinerary

Lake Manyara Exploration

Lake Manyara

Begin your safari with a scenic drive from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park, renowned for its diverse ecosystems, where you'll spend the afternoon on a game drive, seeking out its famous tree-climbing lions (though sightings aren't guaranteed), large flocks of flamingos along the lakeshore, and a rich variety of other wildlife and birdlife, before settling into your chosen accommodation near the park for the evening.

Lake Manyara to the Ngorongoro

Ngorongoro Crater

Enjoy a final morning game drive in Lake Manyara, soaking in its unique beauty and wildlife, before driving to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area; as you ascend to the crater rim, prepare to be mesmerized by the panoramic views of the vast caldera below, a breathtaking introduction to the natural wonder you'll explore the following day, with an overnight stay at a lodge or camp perched on the rim.

Return to Arusha

An early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater marks a full day dedicated to exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, a natural enclosure teeming with a remarkable concentration of wildlife, including the "Big Five"; you'll have ample time for game drives within the crater floor, maximizing your chances of spotting lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, and leopards, before ascending in the late afternoon for your drive back to Arusha, concluding your safari adventure.
