Kilimanjaro International Airport – Arusha

Day 2

Arusha – Lake Manyara

After a hearty breakfast, your guide collects you and drives you to Lake Manyara
While Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s smaller parks, its diverse vegetation ranging from savannah to marsh and evergreen forest, supports one of the highest biomass densities of large mammals in the world. Expect to see large families of elephants, millions of flamingos, and even tree-climbing lions
Be sure to keep a watchful eye out for the baboons in this park which live in troops of up to 200 members

Enjoy a delicious picnic and spend the entire day out exploring the rolling plains of the Serengeti National Park
After an action-packed day in the bush, your guide drops you back at your accommodation inside the national park, in time for a gourmet dinner

Day 5

Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you depart with your lunch for a final morning game drive in the Serengeti
Few predators hunt during the heat of the day and so early morning is often the best time to observe the thrill of the chase

Check-in to your accommodation in Ngorongoro and settle into your new surroundings
Enjoy a guided walk around the rim of the mighty Ngorongoro Crater. In addition to seeing breathtaking views of the volcanic crater and the diverse wildlife, our expert guides will also teach you about its incredible indigenous flora and fauna *

Day 7

Tarangire – Kilimanjaro International Airport

Wake up and enjoy a hearty breakfast while looking out over the plains dotted with hundreds of Africa’s prehistoric ‘Trees of Life’ – the baobab
