Day 2 : ARUSHA – LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK (105 km – 1.5 hrs)
Location: Lake Manyara
Morning at leisure with safari briefing followed by lunch. Afternoon joins seat in vehicle safari and departs Arusha passing through the Masai Steppe filled with many picturesque African villages as well as maize, coffee and banana plantations.

After breakfast, there is a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park that ends just before lunch. Indulge in a delicious meal at the camp and then leave Lake Manyara behind. The journey continues North West across the stunning hilly countryside of the highlands which is filled with wheat and coffee plantations, and then into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Day 4 : SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (5-6 hrs on game drives)
Location: Serengeti National Park
Wake up to breakfast at the camp. The Serengeti is famed for being home to millions of animals and the annual Great Migration of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. Yet, the dramatic landscapes in which the wildlife prowls are themselves worthy of admiration. Riverine forests and woodlands, rocky outcrops called kopjes, and an imposing volcano are just some of the backdrops in which the animals can be spotted during the morning and afternoon game drives. With some luck, here you will see the Big Five and, with great luck, the harder-to-spot species grouped as the Little Five: the antlion, the rhino beetle, the elephant shrew, the buffalo weaver, and the leopard tortoise. Birds and reptiles are also plentiful in the Serengeti National Park. Enjoy lunch and dinner at the camp.Â

Due to its size and diversity, the crater floor has several distinct areas, ranging from forest, swamps, lakes and springs, to open grassland and some beautiful sand dunes. It’s an unforgettable wildlife experience. The picnic lunch is served overlooking a small lake populated with hippos. You return to the lodge in the late afternoon and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure and dinner in the evening.Â
