Day1: Game drive in Lake Manyara National Park.
We depart from your lodge in Arusha and proceed to
Lake Manyara National Park. Although small in size,
this park is one of the most diverse reserves in the
country. Lake Manyara covers two thirds of the park.
At the backdrop is the wall of the Great Rift
Valley, before which lies the ground water forest,
areas of open grassland near the lake foreshore, and
the Soda Lake. We enjoy a picnic lunch in this area,
which consists of open grassy areas, hot springs,
dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Lake
Manyara National Park is a birding paradise that has
more than 350 species of bird. The park is also
famed for its unique and elusive tree-climbing
lions.
Dinner and overnight at the Lodge: Full board.
Day 2: Game in Serengeti National Park.
We proceed to Olduvai Gorge, known as the ‘Cradle of
Mankind’. It was here, in the Great Rift Valley,
that the remains of early hominids dating back 2
million years were uncovered. Afterwards, we visit
the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world –
Serengeti National Park. The word ‘Serengeti’ means
‘endless plains’, which describes the park’s 5,600
square mile boundary. Yet for its sprawling area,
the Serengeti does not disappoint when it comes to
rich game-viewing. The Serengeti ecosystem is one of
the oldest on earth. We make our way to our lodging
for the night.
Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Wild Tented Lodge:
Full board.
Day 3: Game drive in Serengeti National Park.
We embark on an encore game drive in the expansive
Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti boasts one of
the most varied collection of wildlife on the
planet. Annually, from May to December, millions of
animals embark on a migration which brings them from
central Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara and back
again in an incredible spectacle. Even during the
‘down-time’, vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and
gazelle roam here, along with groups of elephant,
giraffe, and buffalo, as the lions, leopard,
cheetah, hyenas and jackals stalk their meals. We
make our way to our lodging for the night.
Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Wild Tented Lodge:
Full board.
Day 4: Game drive in Ngorongoro crater.
We depart from the Serengeti to visit the largest
intact volcanic crater in the world, the magnificent
Ngorongoro Crater. At more than 2,000 feet deep and
12 miles in diameter, the Ngorongoro Crater has one
of the largest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.
30,000 animals make their home in this crater,
making it an ideal place for sightings of the ‘big
5′ – lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard.
This truly world-class attraction is also known as
the ‘8th Wonder of the World’. We make our way to
our lodging for the night.
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Wild Tented
Lodge: Full board.
Day 5: Ngorongoro to Arusha.
After breakfast, we depart the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area and head back to Arusha. With

Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) after the
