Lake Manyara is a beautiful little park, which is famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, and large troops of baboons. The Park is home to an amazing variety of birds and animals considering its small size. A short visit to this serene park will greatly diversify your safari experience as the lush green jungle habitat is of stark contrast to the other parks you will visit during your safari.

After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game tour.
Afterwards, drive to the rim of the crater for overnight
Overnight at Pakulala Camp
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Drinking water is also provided.
Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
Day 3
After breakfast, you will be picked up from lodge by your safari guide and driven to Tarangire National Park
Later after lunch, leave for Arusha to so as to arrive around 5pm
Breakfast and lunch provided. Drinking water is also provided.
Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June – November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
