DAY 1: DEPART TO LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK & HALF DAY GAME DRIVE
Pick you up at the hotel in Arusha and depart to Lake Manyara National Park. This is a small but very beautiful park offering breathtaking views, excellent game viewing and an incredible array of bird-life. You have a chance to spot zebra, baboon, warthog, giraffe, impala, elephant, hippo, wildebeest and the rare tree climbing lion.
Late afternoon, you’ll drive to Ngorongoro arriving in the late evening for dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge (lunch & dinner included)
DAY 2: HALF DAY GAME DRIVE AT NGORONGORO CRATER & DEPART TO ARUSHA
After an early breakfast, you’ll have an early morning game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater until noon! As an UNESCO World Heritage Site the crater offers a unique biosphere which has remained virtually unchanged since the dawn of time. There are very few places in the world where you can find such a large population of wildlife throughout the year. Deep within the crater, enclosed by towering walls, you have a good chance of spotting ‘The Big 5’: Lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. For the latter two you need a bit of luck as they tend to shy away. Approximately 30,000 animals live on the crater floor!
In the late afternoon, depart to Arusha with lunch on the way back to the hotel/airport to catch your flight back home (lunch & dinner included)
