Day 3 – 4: Serengeti National Park (central west/east)

After breakfast, you’ll pick up a lunchbox from your lodging and travel on to Lake Manyara National Park, the ultimate safari location. This park is 120 kilometers west of Arusha and is very small but diversified. A little salt lake bears the park’s name. It covers a sizable portion of the park, changing its moisture content with the seasons. Thousands of flamingos and more than 500 different bird species call it home. Monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, elephants, and, hopefully, lions relaxing in the trees can all be seen while exploring the park. The park is renowned for its diverse topography, which includes cliffs covered with baobab trees, as well as broad, grassy plains and woodlands home to primates. You will proceed directly to your lodging in Karatu for dinner and your overnight stay at Eileen’s Trees Inn or a comparable establishment after another game drive.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Conservation Area (incl. Crater)

The famous Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s seven natural wonders. The crater was formed two million years ago when a vast volcano erupted. The fertile lava has created a unique ecosystem, now home to the highest concentration of animals found anywhere in Africa! Once in the crater, thousands of animals such as lions, zebras, buffalos and black rhinos surround you, and the views are astounding.
