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.
Back in the late evening and spend the night at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge (lunch & dinner included)
DAY 2: DEPART TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK with ON-ROUTE GAME DRIVE
After breakfast, you depart for the most famous safari park in the world, Serengeti National Park with packed lunch boxes. The Serengeti hosts the most extensive population of wild animals on earth and has a complex and untouched ecosystem. Serengeti means “endless plains” in the language of the Maasai, a description that the Serengeti completely lives up to. These endless plains have to be experienced to be fully appreciated!
You’ll visit the heart of the Serengeti, Seronera Valley. This valley may be termed as the ‘classic’ Serengeti; short grass plains with different kind of wild animals ranging from the impressive lion to the naughty mongoose. After the incredible impressions of the Serengeti in the evening, get your hot dinner and spend the night at KatiKati Tented Camp (breakfast, lunch & dinner included)
DAY 3: HALF DAY GAME DRIVE AT SERENGETI & DEPART TO NGORONGORO CRATER
After an early breakfast, you’ll visit the park one more time to enjoy a half day game drive on your way out of the beautiful Serengeti with your packed lunch boxes and late afternoon drive to Ngorongoro Crater arriving in the late evening for dinner. Overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge (breakfast, lunch & dinner included)
DAY 4: HALF DAY GAME DRIVE AT NGORONGORO CRATER & DEPART TO ARUSHA
After an early breakfast, go for a half day game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater! 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!
After this great experience, you’ll drive back to Arusha with the packed lunch boxes to your hotel or airport to catch your flight back home (breakfast & lunch included)
