Arrival and Departure: Arusha City
Our driver/guide will pick you up after breakfast and drive you down to Lake Manyara for game viewing. Lake Manyara boasts a variety of diverse habitats. With over 670 flowering plants and fern documented species, its flora is also diverse.
Known for its flocks of thousands of flamingos that feed along the edge of the lake. It boasts over 390 species of birdlife. Plains zebra, bushbuck, waterbuck, giraffe, and many more can be found here. After spending a swell time in Lake Manyara National Park, you will proceed to your accommodation outside the national park.
Your drive from Karatu to the Serengeti will wind you through wide green hills and across flat lowlands. The land stretches to the horizon in all directions, interrupted only by small dusty towns and earthy round Maasai huts. Once you’ve crossed into the Serengeti, you’ll be on a game drive as you make your way toward camp.
The southern section of the park is covered with flat or gently rolling grasslands and occasionally dotted with rock kopjes, home to good populations of resident game. Big cats love to have a good vantage point, and the kopjes provide that. Massive herds of wildebeest call this southern section home when they’re birthing before moving farther north. The Serengeti is home to a variety of landscapes, and what’s around you will depend on where you’re staying in the park.
Today you will continue your African safari experience to one of the country’s biggest draws: the Serengeti National Park. The endless plains and abundance of wildlife that call the Serengeti home are unsurpassed. The Wildebeest Migration with more than a million wildebeest is probably the highlight of the Serengeti. It is a true spectacle and impressive to watch millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles thunder across the endless plains of the Serengeti.
Together with your private guide, you will be looking for the herds across the plains. Apart from the migratory animals, you will also get to see lots of other animals, like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and many more. Expect to be impressed by the natural beauty of Africa’s most famous park.
After an action-packed day, you will be transferred to your reserved accommodation
Early in the morning, you drive from Serengeti to Ngorongoro. Upon arrival at Ngorongoro, you will start descending into the crater. This collapsed volcano is the main feature of the area and creates a unique ecosystem with a wide variety of vegetation. Enjoy the beautiful colors of the landscapes and the diversity of animals.
The crater is home to the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa and is choked with elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos, and even the rare black rhino. This is one of the best places to spot all the Big Five. The views from the crater rim over the crater floor are incredible. Because of its natural beauty, the Ngorongoro Crater is chosen as one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders.
You can spend up to six hours in the crater before heading back to Arusha or the airport for your departure flight.
