Day 2

After breakfast, we load up the vehicle, and drive away from Moshi to Lake Manyara. By comparison with Ngorongoro and Tarangire, Manyara is much smaller but no less scenic. It is thus ideally suited as an introduction to safari touring. It is situated between the escarpment formed by the rift valley and the soda water Lake Manyara. It is an ideal spot for bird lovers and is home to large groups of elephant as well as the 'tree climbing lion". We overnight at the camp or lodge. (BLD)

After breakfast drive to and tour Serengeti with overnight at camp or lodge. The areas is particularly famous for the massive migration of 1.5million Wildebeest, and several thousand Gazelle and Zebra all heading for greener pastures and improved grazing area's, risking life and limb to predators such as Lion and Crocodile. The National Park is broadly divided into three distinct areas, the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the Western Corridor and the Northern 'Lobo' area that extends northwards to join the Maasai Mara. (BLD)

 

Day 4

After breakfast drive to Ngorongoro past the Olduvai gorge. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact caldera, forming an incredible bowl shape with sides of about 600m deep, and covering a distance of about 270km square. Various habitats form a complete microcosm within the crater floor, from grasslands to forest, swamps and Lake Makat. As a result, it is home to some 20 000 wild animals and although the animals move in and out of the area consistently, the vegetation in the crater floor attracts is a source of ongoing food supply attracting the gazers, and thus, predators as well. We will enjoy a half day crater tour with picnic lunch and later, proceed to the camp to spend the evening (BLD)

 

Day 5

After breakfast, we enjoy a morning hike in the Southern Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the elephant cave and waterfall.
