Pick up from your hotel at 8 am to catch sight of breathtakingly encompassing views of Lake Manyara and thousands of greater and lesser pink flamingos on its shores, along with pink-backed pelicans, yellow-billed storks, grey herons, and pods of hippo. For avian enthusiasts, and like-minded twitchers looking for a speckled feathered experience, don’t forget to bring your binoculars, because Manyara national park is famously known as the home of tree climbing lions and the favorite place for different kinds of primates and incredible birding experiences.
On this day the game drive is action-pack, educational, and fun in
Miles and miles of seemingly endless plains extending far beyond the horizon; quiet, untouched, and unpolluted virgin territory ruled by the lion king. Concentrated with the world's fascinating species, this vast and beautiful short grassland makes a perfect cover and habitat for most prey that gives you ample opportunities to spot the big cats in action.
Between June and October, travelers can witness the epic event: the clouds of dust, hooves pummeling the earth, the grunts, and splashing of herds crossing the river — some inevitably falling prey to the waiting crocodiles. On the way to the park, you will have the option to stop for a visit to Olduvai Gorge, famously known as "the cradle of mankind” where Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered the remains of the first man to walk the Earth. This tour includes a short lecture describing the archeological digs and geologic characteristics of the gorge.
Early bird gets the worm applies most when doing a Serengeti Ngorongoro. On this day you will start your adventures early in the morning to catch the magnificent sunrise and spot wildlife when it's most active. After your morning game drive full of adventure you will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and later drive to Ngorongoro, The cradle of mankind.
Renowned as the biggest caldera, with 19km of diameter and 260km circumference and availability of food and water, it qualifies as an all-year wildlife hotspot.Around 25,000 large animals live in the 30,000-hectare crater, including lions, the endangered black rhinos, and elephants.
We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha around 5 pm although we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or an emergency.
