Itinerary

1. Day 1: Lake Manyara | Highview Coffee Lodge

   • Drive to Lake Manyara National Park in the morning. Set against the steep escarpment of the Rift Valley, you will find Lake Manyara National Park with its evergreen groundwater forest and various ecosystems, including acacia woodland, grassy plains, a swampy fan delta, and – of course – the expansive lake. This diversity attracts various mammal, bird, and wildlife species. 
   • Manyara is also home to rare tree-climbing lions. The park offers excellent game viewing with buffalo, impala, giraffe, bushbuck, waterbuck, hippos, and many elephants roaming near the lake. Also, look out for blue monkeys, velvet monkeys, and very active olive baboons.

   Overnight Highview Coffee Lodge (with lunch, dinner & breakfast)

2. Day 2: Serengeti National Park | Serengeti Safari Lodge

   • Head out after breakfast for the drive to Serengeti National Park. "Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai language, meaning : endless plain".
   • Opt en route to the Serengeti to visit as Masaai Village, a perfect place to explore the Maasai culture and even participate in some tribal activities.
   • Choose to visit Olduvai Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humanity; the Museum is a testament to the long journey that humanity has made from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on earth.
   • Enjoy a game drive en route to your camp.

3. Day 3: Serengeti National Park | Serengeti Safari Lodge

   • Relax with a full day in the Serengeti with game drives – unequalled for its beauty and home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. The huge herds of plains game, such as wildebeest, zebra, and antelope dominate the park while the attendant predators such as lion and cheetah, are to be found amongst the many kopjes scattered across the plain. Its landscape varies from open grass plains in the south, savanna with scattered acacia trees in the center, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.
