Itinerary

Day 1

Lake Manyara

Morning after breakfast we drive to Lake Manyara. This impressive park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions as well as flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.

Fanaka campsite

Day 2

Serengeti

After breakfast we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We will be at Seronera area featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source and therefore attracts wildlife. Enjoy evening game drive there.
