1 Day Lake Manyara National Park Safari

Our workers will pick you up from Kilimanjaro International Airport and take you to your accommodation, Arusha Coffee Lodge, one of Tanzania’s biggest coffee plantations, situated at the foot of Mount Meru. With its distinctive architecture that dates back to the early 1900s, you’ll stay in one of the plantation cottages. The interiors include a bar and cosy lounge as well as a swimming pool and garden terrace with a coffee bean-themed design and amenities.

In the morning, as your breakfast is being cooked, you will wake up to the scent of the morning brew coming from the main plantation.

After breakfast, your driver/tour guide will pick you up and carry you to Tarangire National Park, located in the Manyara Area. After Ruaha, Serengeti, Mikumi, Katavi and Mkomazi, Tarangire is Tanzania’s sixth-largest national park. A wild life game drive will include events where pythons can be seen climbing trees, as well as lions and leopards, among others. Keep an eye on the screeching flocks of vibrant yellow-collared lovebirds for bird lovers, and the very bizarre rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling. These are all native to north-central Tanzania’s dry savannah.

Lodging: Tarangire Tree Tops Lodge

We will proceed to a walking safari after breakfast, escorted by a professional armed ranger. Another game drive will take place at Tarangire National Park in the afternoon. You’ll see huge herds of elephants, tree climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees in this forest, also called the Tree of Life for its almost supernatural forces linked to it by some cultures. This park is well known for the Tarangire River, which flows throughout the year and is the only source of water for wild animals during the dry seasons.

We’ll be off to Lake Manyara National Park after breakfast for another exciting game drive.

“the loveliest I had seen in Africa”the most stunning I’ve seen in Africa. Manyara offers the ideal introduction to the birdlife of Tanzania. More than 400 species have been registered, and you can expect to see 100 of them in one day, if you’re lucky. The favoured haunt of Manyara’s famed tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants is a narrow belt of acacia forest within the floodplain.

Accommodation: The Ngorongoro Manor

After breakfast, we will leave for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a full-day game drive. With the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point, this is an extensive highland region along the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley. In the strict meaning of the term, it is not a national park, but it was created to protect wildlife and other natural resources. It exists both to protect the rights of indigenous people and to facilitate tourism. Thus, visitors on a safari have the rare opportunity of seeing Maasai herdsmen among the wide variety of wildlife found in the region with their animals.

Accommodation: The Ngorongoro Manor

We will set off for Serengeti National Park after breakfast with a picnic lunch and a game drive en route through Olduvai Gorge, the oldest and most popular national park in Tanzania. Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recently declared the 7th Wonder of the World, is renowned for its annual migration, where the open plains are pounded by some six million hooves. Witness the true survival of the fittest from July to October, as these creatures dive into crocodile-infested waters. Before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins once again, the wildebeest produces more than 8,000 calves daily.

Serengeti provides an exotic game-viewing experience in Africa, offering you an up-close glimpse at the animals you’ve only seen in National Geographic: large buffalo herds, smaller elephant and giraffe classes, and thousands of elands, topi, kongoni, impala, and gazelle of Grant.

Accommodation: Serengeti Acacia Luxury Camp

We will head north of the Serengeti after breakfast for a full-day game drive in the wilderness following the Great Trails of Migration. Witness millions of wildebeests, each guided by the same ancient rhythm, performing their instinctive role in the inescapable life cycle: a frenzied three-week battle of territorial conquests and mating; the survival of the fittest 40 km (25 mile) long columns on the annual northern migration plunge into crocodile-infested waters.

Accommodation: Serengeti Acacia Luxury Camp

We will take our last morning game drive to Serengeti North after breakfast and then move to the Lobo airstrip for your flight back to Arusha. We will take you to Kilimanjaro International Airport upon arrival in Arusha for your flight back home.

Accommodation: Can be arranged at an additional price
