4-day Tanzania Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater Adventure
Embark on a thrilling 4-day safari exploring Tanzania’s most iconic destinations. Visit the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti for two nights, witnessing abundant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. Then descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to experience one of the world’s most spectacular natural arenas for wildlife. Your adventure begins and ends in Arusha, guided by our experienced driver-guides who ensure a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable safari experience.
Pickup from your hotel at 8am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos.
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see what the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". Accommodation at tukaone camp
Full day in Serengeti plains with morning and afternoon game viewing and drive. Search for wild games you might have missed the previous game drive. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June.
We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha.
