The Park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the Park.

Day 3: Central Serengeti Park

After breakfast, head to the Central Serengeti Park to see some wildlife. In the park, eat lunch in a comfortable location. Before arriving at the camp, we will proceed with the game drive activity in the afternoon. More famously, the Serengeti is home to large herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest that migrate there. Prepare to witness the lion, cheetah, and leopard, the local predators, as they carry out their part in the cycle of life.

Our safari guide will locate the ideal location for the Great Migration.

Once game drive is done you will be transferred to the lodge located in Karatu village for relaxation, dinner and overnight stay.

This Park appears to be a lost world when you first arrive to Ngorongoro Crater. There is a beautiful environment with shimmering lakes and wetlands, patches of acacia woodland, and broad savannah hidden behind the sheer volcanic walls. The Crater was formed two to three million years ago when a massive volcano exploded and fell in on itself. It’s well-known for its geological wonders as well as being a nature reserve that harbors some of the largest populations of huge mammals on the African continent.

Day 7: Karatu - Lake Manyara National Park

Once we finish the game drive we will transfer you to the Arusha or Airport where safari ends.

Lake Manyara National Park is a tiny yet varied park. The scale of everything you see here is different. It is both majestic (the Great Rift Escarpment towering over the western limit of Lake Manyara) and compact (this is one of Africa’s narrowest parks). A tiny Salt Lake is the park’s namesake. Thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and more than 500 other bird species, call it home. It spans a sizable portion of the park and floods and dries with the seasons. In addition to keeping an eye out for the tree-climbing lions that have gained international fame, you might spot baboons and elephants in the park’s dense evergreen forest.
