TTZ 002: 4 NIGHTS/ 5 DAYS LAKE MANYARA/SERENGETI/NGORONGORO
DAY 1. LK. MANYARA
Pick up from Arusha with your private safari guide and 4 x 4 safari land cruiser and transfer to Lake Manyara National Park. Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park offers varied ecosystems, incredible bird life, and breathtaking views. Located on the way to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, Lake Manyara National Park is well worth a stop in its own right. Its ground water forests, bush plains, baobob strewn cliffs, and algae-streaked hot springs offer incredible ecological variety in a small area, rich in wildlife and incredible numbers of birds. Full board accommodation is included in the tour price. (L, D)
DAY 2. SERENGETI
Transfer from Lake Manyara National Park with your picnic lunch boxes for Serengeti National Park which is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers of protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park. Its far-reaching plains of endless grass, tinged with the twisted shadows of acacia trees, have made it the quintessential image of a wild and untarnished Africa. Its large stone kopjes are home to rich ecosystems, and the sheer magnitude and scale of life that the plains support is staggering. Full board accommodation is included in the tour price. (B, L, D)
DAY 3. SERENGETI
Full day of game viewing at Serengeti National Park with your private safari land cruiser and safari guide. Full board accommodation is included in the tour price. (B, L,D)
DAY 04. NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA
Game viewing at Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World,’ a visit to the crater is a main draw card for tourists coming to Tanzania and a definite world-class attraction. Within the crater rim, large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. Just outside the crater’s ridge, tall Masaai herd their cattle and goats over green pastures through the highland slopes, living alongside the wildlife as they have for centuries. Full board accommodation is included in the tour price. (B, L,D)
