A short transfer will take you to the beautiful Lake Manyara National Park, followed by a game drive through the park. This beautiful & peaceful park is located on the western shores of the alkaline Lake Manyara. The park is well-known for its tree-climbing lions, as well as its hippos, elephants and rich bird-life. At certain times of the year the lake is host to 1000s of flamingos. Despite being a relatively small park, there is a diversity of vegetation from savannah to acacia woodland, enabling the park to support a variety of wildlife habitats.

Continue to the famous Serengeti National Park. Serengeti in Maasai language means endless plain, which is probably the best description for this flat plateau covered in extensive grasslands, interspersed with rocky outcrops called kopjes. The Serengeti is best known for the wildebeest migration, however large herds of elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalos, impalas and antelopes can be seen all year round. It is also popular for its lions, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, large birds (e.g. ostrich) and little birds (e.g. superb starling). Balloon safaris in either the Seronera area or Western Corridor of the Serengeti are available on request. Overnight at Ndutu Lodge on FB basis

Leave the plains of the Serengeti behind and transfer back in the direction of Arusha to the Ngorongoro Crater through the Ngorongoro Conservancy. The Ngorongoro Crater is a spectacular caldera (inward collapsed volcano) with a diameter of 19 km and a depth of 600 m. It houses a great number of species, including wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, buffalos, elephants, lions, hippos, a large flock of lesser flamingos and last but not least black rhinos.
