Day 1 – Arusha / Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Our representative will meet you at your hotel or pick up point in Arusha in the morning. Pre-safari briefing, then board your customised 4×4 safari Land Cruiser and depart for Ngorongoro. This drive across the Ardai Plains and via the scenic areas of Karatu and the village of “Mto wa Mbu” leads you up the Western Wall of the Rift Valley and onto Ngorongoro. Proceed to your Ngorongoro Lodge for lunch, afternoon and evening at leisure. Dinner and overnight stay at your lodge.

Day 2 – Ngorongoro Crater Tour

After breakfast, board your vehicle at 0800 hrs and descend the down walls of the world’s largest caldera with a packed lunch for a half day of game and sightseeing on the crater floor.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the crater has global importance for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of globally threatened species, the density of wildlife inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles and other animals into the northern plains. Extensive archaeological research has also yielded a long sequence of evidence of human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid footprints dating back 3.6 million years. Here you have a chance to spot Lions, Elephants, Buffaloes, Hippos, Cheetahs, Hyenas and several antelope and bird species. Ascend to your lodge in the early afternoon for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3 – Ngorongoro Conservation Area /Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for Lake Manyara. Arrival at your lodge for check in, then lunch will be served. You will enjoy an afternoon game drive at the nearby Lake Manyara National Park until 1800 hrs. Lake Manyara National Park is situated spectacularly between the Great Rift Valley Escarpment and Lake Manyara. The most famous spectacle is the tree-climbing lions, which are occasionally seen along branches of Acacia trees. Lake Manyara National Park is also known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake. During the wet season they inhabit the edges of the lake in flocks of thousands but they are not so present during the dry season. More than 400 species of birds inhabit the park and many remain throughout the year. Dinner and overnight stay at your lodge.
