Pick up from Moshi/Arusha Town and transfer to Lake Manyara National Park. We arrive in time for lunch at the lodge/campsite and after lunch we head into the Lake Manyara National Park for an afternoon game drive.
This national park is one of Tanzania's most dramatically located wildlife areas,
consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park), located at the foot of
the Great Rift Valley's western escarpment. The park's varied habitat attracts a wide variety of
animals, including one of Africa's largest concentrations of elephants, Lake Manyara's unique
tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake.
Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.
Non game-viewing travel time: 6 hours
Distance: 205 km
After breakfast we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of
Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of
wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park - with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as
the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest
wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to
this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We
arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.
Dinner and overnight in the Seronera area, as per the standard and type of accommodation option
requested.
Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the
Serengeti Plains (available at supplementary cost by pre-arrangement). Floating silently above the
awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa, across rivers and
over numerous small villages.
We do an after breakfast game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains
south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and
cheetah sightings. The visitor's centre not far from the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites,
is well worth a visit after the morning's game drive. This nicely designed centre, offers some
interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop selling information leaflets and maps of the area.
The centre also has a shop where cold drinks and snacks can be purchased, as well as a picnic area and
information trail up and around a nearby kopje. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the centre in
the shade of the giant acacia trees.
In the afternoon we will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes,
which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite
outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and
drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for
spotting wildlife in the dry seasons - including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to
drink!
Dinner and overnight in the Seronera area, as per the standard and type of accommodation option
requested.
Non game-viewing travel time: 4 hours
Distance: 145 km
After breakfast at the lodge do we depart to Ngorongoro Conservation area. We will stopover at Olduvai
Gorge, boasting with a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here, that the anthropologists
Drs. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of the'Nutcracker Man' and 'Handy Man', both very
significant links in the chain of human evolution.
We arrive in time for lunch at the lodge and spend the afternoon at leisure.
Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested on the crater rim,
no accommodation available inside the crater.
After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a full-day game
drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and
is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhino.
Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation area supports a vast
variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant
African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of
predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. We will enjoy a
picnic lunch on the crater floor.
Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested on the crater rim,
no accommodation available inside the crater.

After breakfast we depart for the Tarangire National Park. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire
River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation
mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south.
Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania's dry season. The
Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African
National Park is also home to three rare species of animals - the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx,
as well as a few Ashy Starlings. After a picnic lunch we do an afternoon game drive.
Dinner and overnight in the Tarangire National Park area, as per the standard and type of accommodation
