Itinerary

1. Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park

   • Pick up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery. It is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, and a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys.
   • Permanent residents of Lake Manyara National Park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words.
   • The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion.
   • Return to the camp in the afternoon for dinner.

2. Day 2: Serengeti National Park

   • After an early breakfast, depart for the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. Although the drive is long, it is spectacular. Anyone seeing it for the first time will have an unforgettable moment.
   • As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km); for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings filmed in this park.

3. Day 3: Serengeti National Park

   • We are completely flexible with your preferences and this day will be organized according to your wishes with a full day in the Serengeti.
   • On every day of the safari, your guide will discuss the best times for you, including the game drives and the wake-up time. For example, on this day, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation, and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch.

4. Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

   • On this day, we suggest waking up very early for an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and seeing one of the best sunrises you will ever witness.
   • After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we will proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the sporadic locations on the continent where you can witness the Black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It is also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world, and it has huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.

5. Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater - Departure

   • We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake.
   • After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive, ascend the crater, and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha.
   • We expect to be back in Arusha around 5 pm, although we are flexible if there is a flight to catch or another situation.
