Eco Lodge 3

Leave for Serengeti at 07:30 in the morning, passing through the Olduvai Gorge on your way. The gorge, where ancient human and animal fossils have been discovered, is 50 km long and 90 m deep in some places. It acts as a drain for the nearby mountains and has been carved by water travelling from the mountains to the southern part of the Serengeti plains.

Sopa Lodge 3

Take your lunchbox after breakfast and head for a full-day safari in the most famous national park in Tanzania. Track animals along the national park’s famous migration trails, which sees more than a million wildebeests migrating every year.

Learn more about this important annual event from your guide. In the evening, as the sun goes down, drive back to your accommodation at Sopa Lodge.

Ngorongoro Farm House 3

Start with an early-morning game drive (at around 07:00 am). Carry a picnic lunch with you. The crater floor is rich in wildlife as very few animals migrate in and out of the crater surrounded by 2000ft-high walls.

Expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many bird species. Your driverguide will be in contact with other safari drivers from whom he will find out about the locations of these animals.

Leave your accommodation at 07:00 am and head for Lake Manyara National Park. Although small in size, since Lake Manyara covers two thirds of the park’s area, this national park is one of the most diverse reserves in the country.

The Great Rift Valley provides a spectacular backdrop, while the landscape of the park is dominated by a large soda lake and an open grassland peppered with hot springs and dense woods. The park is a bird lover’s paradise, with more than 350 species of bird. However, it is also well known for its elusive tree-climbing lions.

Enjoy your lunch in the afternoon before driving back to Arusha. Depending upon your schedule, you might want to prepare for your departure or extend your stay in Tanzania now.
