Lake Manyara National Park

This morning, drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Set against the steep escarpment of the Rift Valley, you’ll find Lake Manyara National Park with its evergreen groundwater forest and variety of ecosystems, including acacia woodland, grassy plains, a swampy fan delta, and – of course – the expansive lake. This diversity attracts various mammal, bird, and wildlife species. Manyara is also home to rare tree-climbing lions. The park offers excellent game viewing with buffalo, impala, giraffe, bushbuck, waterbuck, hippos, and many elephants roaming near the lake. Also, look out for blue monkeys, vervet monkeys, and very active olive baboons.

Serengeti National Park

Head out after breakfast for a drive to Serengeti National Park. The word “Serengeti” is derived from the Maasai language, meaning “endless plain.” En route to the Serengeti, you can visit Masaai Village, a perfect place to explore Maasai culture and even participate in tribal activities. Or visit Olduvai Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humanity. The museum is a testament to the long journey that humanity has made, from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on Earth. Enjoy a game drive en route to your camp.

Serengeti National Park

Half-day game drive in Serengeti National Park – unequaled for its beauty and home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. The vast herds of plains game, such as wildebeest, zebra, and antelope, dominate the park, while the attendant predators, such as lion and cheetah, are to be found amongst the many kopjes scattered across the plain. Its landscape varies from open grass plains in the south, savanna with scattered acacia trees in the center, hilly, wooded grassland in the north, to extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west. Drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation area (en route game drive)

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro Crater

Early risers are rewarded with breath-taking views of the rising sun over the crater’s edge and, after a hearty breakfast, you will drive down the adventurous track into the crater. This UNESCO world heritage site, one of the seven wonders of Africa and most incredible ecosystems on Earth, formed millions of years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano, is 610 m deep and covers roughly around 260 square kilometres. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25 000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. In matter of minutes you will be able to see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little bit of luck you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass. After lunch you will ascend the steep walls of the crater and head to mto wa mbu for short tour.

Mto wa Mbu

After breakfast, depart for a half-day cultural tour at Mto wa Mbu. This small village is in the Great Rift Valley, north of Lake Manyara, right at the Lake Manyara National Park entrance. Enjoy a day filled with cultural activities, and enjoy: Chagga tribe banana beer tasting Makonde tribe ebony wood carving Traditional local lunch Visit a banana farm or a rice farm Visit fruits and vegetable market In the late afternoon, drive to your hotel for your overnight stay.

Tarangire National Park

The drive from the Highview Hotel to Tarangire National Park takes about two hours. This park is spectacular in the dry season when many migratory wildlife species return to the Tarangire River's permanent waters. Vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands, and Oryx gather to stay in Tarangire until the onset of the rain when they migrate again to good grazing areas. In the afternoon, drop off at the airport for your departure. After a half day in Tarangire you will be transferred to the airport for your scheduled departure flight.
