Itinerary

1. Day 1- Moshi - Lake Manyara

   • Connect with your tour guide in Moshi and transfer to Lake Manyara National Park, which takes about 3-4 hours. 
   • After having a picnic lunch in Manyara, start a late afternoon game drive, which is the best time to view animals in this park. When you approach it from the east, the Rift Valley escarpment looms on the horizon forming an impressive backdrop to the lake. In the tall trees of the groundwater forest, monkeys leap from branch to branch, and on the escarpment, elephants stand in the shade. Other animals frequently seen are zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, and others.

2. Day 2- Lake Manyara - Ngorongoro Crater
