Lake Manyara National Park offers breathtaking views and a large variety of habitats, Acacia woodlands, water forests, baobab strewn cliffs, algae-streaked hot springs, swamps and the lake itself.

Day 2- Serengeti National Park
- After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
- Leaving the highlands behind, 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.
- Then head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
- Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.
Dinner and overnight at 4.8-star hotel/lodge.

Day 4- Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Crater
Go for early morning games drives, and afterwards, depart to the Ngorongoro Conservation area.
Take a stopover at Olduvai Gorge, boasting a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here that the anthropologists Drs. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of 'Nutcracker Man' and 'Handy Man', both very significant links in the chain of human evolution.
Dinner and overnight at 4.8-star hotel/lodge.

Day 5- Ngorongoro Crater – Moshi
- After an early breakfast, descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
- In the evening, you will get back to the hotel in Moshi for an overnight stay.
