After breakfast in Arusha/Moshi we will drive to Lake Manyara National Park where we will spend the day and enjoy a delectable picnic lunch. The park is nestled at the base of the rusty gold Great Rift Valley escarpment, and the scenic landscape is breathtaking.
The wildlife you can expect to see is lots of baboons, monkeys, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and the ferocious hippos that inhabit the lake.
The park record consists of over 380 species of birds, some of which are migratory, making it the ideal location for bird watchers. Thousands of pink-hued flamingos occupy the margin of the lake; other large water birds include pelicans, storks, and cormorants.
Dinner and Overnight in Either Lake Manyara Area or Karatu
We will have an early start to the day to assure that we complete the route for the day, which combines a grand game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater.
Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania’s national parks because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometer. This means you are proficient at spotting every member of the big five within one day. The big five include buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Some of the other wildlife that you can expect to see includes zebras, hippo, wildebeests, and hyenas. The craters also exhibit a large scale of bird population, counting geese, storks, and vultures.
You will be pleased by the view of lovely flamingos on the Soda Lake. By lunchtime, you will arrive at the lakeside, where you will be offered lunchboxes, after which game viewing will continue.
In the evening, you will proceed back to the hotel in Arusha/Moshi.
