Safari Itinerary

Non-game viewing time: 4 hours
After breakfast, the tour sets off. The initial stop is Arusha Town for any final purchases before we proceed on safari. We then continue to Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for its stunning vistas and diverse range of habitats, including Acacia woodlands, lush water forests, baobab-dotted cliffs, algae-covered hot springs, swamps, and the lake itself. This variety of environments allows the relatively small park to support a wide array of animal species and remarkable birdlife. Manyara is known for having the world’s highest concentration of baboons, and its lions are famously known for their tree-climbing behavior. In the late afternoon, we transfer to our private bush camp located beside the lake.

Non-game viewing time: 4 hours
Experience an early morning hunt with the Bushmen, accompanied by instruction in survival techniques. Following this, you will be transferred to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to observe wildlife. Bolstered by a consistent supply of water and vegetation throughout the year, Ngorongoro National Park sustains a diverse array of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, elands, warthogs, hippos, and colossal African elephants. A notable attraction of this scenic park is its high density of predators, such as lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, which can be challenging to spot without a keen eye. We will also visit Lake Magadi, a large yet shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern corner of the crater, known for its large populations of flamingos, hippos, and other waterfowl.
