Itinerary

1. DAY 1 - Moshi / Arusha – Arusha National Park – Arusha

   After breakfast, you'll depart from your Arusha or Moshi accommodations and drive to the park. After your entrance to the park, you will embark on a game drive through the park. Your drive will pass you past park landmarks such as the Momella Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater - sometimes known as 'Little Ngorongoro.'

   Also, your Safari Vehicle will go under the Fig tree (Ficus thonningii), whose roots have grown to form an arch large enough for a Safari car (elephant size) to pass underneath. You may stop, get out of the car and take pictures. During lunch, you will stop at a picnic site where you will have your lunch. After that, proceed with the game drive. At around four, you will start leaving the National Park for Arusha, where you will spend the night!

2. DAY 2 - Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park (Game Drive)

   You'll depart from Arusha after breakfast for the drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The journey takes approximately two hours, but we'll pass through the market town of Mto Wa Mbu along the way. This agricultural and fresh produce market is a melting pot of local cultures and a souvenir hunter's paradise. After a brief stop at the village market, you'll enter Lake Manyara National Park. The park is truly a photographer's playground and offers some of the best game viewing in the world. You can expect to see many of Africa's most well-known animals, with the tree-climbing lions a particular treat.

   These proud predators lounge in acacia trees, practically begging to be photographed. Bird watchers will find Lake Manyara an absolute delight, with various birds displayed in the park. Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly coloured lilac-breasted roller. At around four, you will depart from the National Park and drive to Manyara for dinner and overnight.

3. DAY 3 - Ngorongoro Crater ( Game Drive ) - Arusha

   After breakfast, you'll enter the Ngorongoro Crater, sometimes considered the 8th Wonder of the World. Home to over 120 species of mammal, including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in the world. It's a perfect place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains and large numbers of hippopotami enjoying the cool water. From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you can observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces.

   The crater is home to many predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations. After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool. After that, you will drive back to Arusha.
