Day 2: Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

After a hearty breakfast and briefing by your safari guide, you’ll drive to Lake Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment. The journey itself is picturesque, winding through rural villages and verdant farmland. Once inside the park, you’ll discover a landscape of surprising diversity—lush groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and expansive marshes. The park is famed for its elusive tree-climbing lions, large hippo populations, and an astonishing array of birds including pelicans, cormorants, and seasonal flamingos. Keep your camera ready as you cruise along the lake’s shores and shaded trails in search of elephants, giraffes, and monkeys. As the sun begins to dip behind the escarpment, continue to Eileen’s Tree Inn for a peaceful overnight stay and a delicious meal.

Day 3: Lake Manyara to Serengeti National Park

Today, the landscape unfolds dramatically as you depart Lake Manyara and head towards the Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s most iconic wilderness areas. En route, you’ll pass traditional Maasai villages and the vast rolling hills of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Upon reaching the Serengeti, the scenery changes into a seemingly endless expanse of savannah—home to one of the most remarkable concentrations of wildlife on the planet. Game viewing begins as soon as you enter the park, where sightings of giraffes, zebras, and antelope are common even before reaching camp. Arrive at Tukaone Weaver Camp in the late afternoon, where you can enjoy a freshly prepared dinner under a starlit sky before turning in for the night, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Day 4: Full-Day Game Drive – Serengeti (Central)

Rise early for a full day of thrilling game drives across the Central Serengeti, known for its high concentration of big cats. This region, particularly Seronera Valley, offers excellent year-round wildlife viewing thanks to its permanent water sources. You may spot lion prides lounging in the shade, solitary leopards draped across tree limbs, and cheetahs scanning the plains for prey. Beyond predators, the Serengeti is alive with movement—wildebeest, gazelles, buffalo, elephants, and countless bird species roam freely across the terrain. With vast vistas and awe-inspiring sightings at every turn, today is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip. Return to camp for a well-earned dinner and another tranquil night in the bush.

Along the way, enjoy wildlife sightings and panoramic views of the surrounding highlands. In the afternoon, descend 600 metres into the Ngorongoro Crater, a vast volcanic caldera considered one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Here, the landscape transforms into a natural amphitheatre teeming with animals—black rhinos, hyenas, elephants, and even rare servals inhabit this thriving ecosystem. After your crater safari, head to the edge of the rim and settle in at Eileen’s Tree Inn or a similar lodge for the evening.
