OVERVIEW

5 DAYS TANZANIA LODGE SAFARI L.MANYARA / NGORONGORO CRATER / SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Okay, let’s get you a concise overview of Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park:

Lake Manyara National Park:

  • Scenic & Diverse: Known for its beautiful alkaline lake, the dramatic Great Rift Valley Escarpment backdrop, and varied habitats like groundwater forests and acacia woodlands.
  • Key Features: Famous for flamingos, tree-climbing lions (though not always seen), and healthy elephant populations. Great for birdwatching. Smaller and more compact, offering diverse wildlife in a smaller area.

Ngorongoro Crater:

  • Unique & Dramatic: A UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the world’s largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera. It’s a self-contained ecosystem.
  • Wildlife Haven: The crater floor has an incredibly high density of diverse wildlife, including all of the “Big Five”. Excellent for black rhino sightings. Offers stunning panoramic views.

Serengeti National Park:

  • Iconic & Vast: Tanzania’s largest and most famous park, known for its seemingly endless savannah plains.
  • The Great Migration: The stage for the spectacular annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles.
  • Abundant Predators: Supports a high density of predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. Excellent “Big Five” viewing. Offers classic wide-open African landscapes.

In short, this circuit offers a fantastic progression:

  • Lake Manyara: A scenic and diverse introduction with unique wildlife.
  • Ngorongoro: A dramatic and concentrated wildlife experience within a natural wonder.
  • Serengeti: The quintessential African safari with vast plains and the potential to witness the Great Migration.

They complement each other to provide a rich and unforgettable Tanzanian safari adventure.

ITINERARY

DAY 1: ARUSHA – LAKE MANYARA

Our first day starts early in the morning. After breakfast we pick you up at your hotel in Arusha. We’re on the way to Lake Manyara. The national park is a lovely location; a thin green band of forest, flanked on one side by the cliffs of the Rift Valley Wall, on the other by the shores of the ancient soda lake. Wildlife here is very diverse. We’ll see many baboons and if we’re lucky – the famous tree-climbing lion. Lake Manyara is also one of the finest parks for bird lovers. In the afternoon we’ll drive to Karatu for dinner and overnight at lake manyara wildlife lodge.

DAY 2: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast we start with a drive to the Serengeti national park . There’s a lot to observe: More than 1.5 million wildbeest and 700 000 zebras are on their way here if we pass by at the time of the famous annual migration. After a Sunset Game Drive we will have Dinner and Overnight in the Serengeti wildlife lodge.

DAY 3: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Our day starts with a morning game drive in Serengeti. For animals, that’s an active time of the day – not hot yet, so there is a lot to see out there. Full day game viewing Dinner and Overnight in the Serengeti wildlife lodge.

Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.

The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Golden-maned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains. Almost uniquely, all three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small predators, ranging from the insectivorous aardwolf to the beautiful serval cat.

DAY 4: SERENGETI – NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

Pre-breakfast game drive ,full breakfast andlater drive to Ngorongoro conservation area. On our way back we will stop for picnic lunch at Oldupai Gorge. It’s a fascinating archeological site we will definetly visit if you are interested in history. The most famous skull found here belongs to Zinjathropus, known as ‘Nutcracker Man’. He lived about 1.75 million years ago. There is also a museum displaying 3.6 million year old footprints in volcanic rock, discovered nearby. Having spent some time in this beautiful location we drive you towards Ngorongoro . The way is interesting and there’s game viewing en route. Towards the evening we’ll arrive at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater Dinner and Overnight in the ngorongoro wildlife lodge

DAY 5: NGORONGORO – ARUSHA

Our last day starts very early in the morning. Equipped with a picnic lunch we descend 2000 ft. down the crater by our 4whell drive vehicle. Let’s explore this Garden of Eden. Ngorongoro is a huge and deep volcanic crater. There’s rich pasture, swamps, forest and permanent water on the crater floor. That’s why wildlife here is so diverse and numerous. There are up to 25.000 larger animals living here. It’d the best opportunity to see Black Rhino and many other rare species like the black-manned lion. We will have a fantastic day and then drive back to Arusha. for dinner and overnight at the budget hotel on own.
