2 Days lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater safari

Day 1: Arusha to Lake Manyara

Get picked up at your hotel in Arusha and begin your drive to Lake Manyara- set on the edge of the Rift Valley. Lake Manyara National Park is small, but its diverse eco-systems pack in a huge variety of animal and bird life. It is rightly famous for its tree-climbing lions, but also for its boisterous baboons! A riot of color is provided by the bird life here, and your day trip also includes a village tour of Mto wa Mbu.

Set amidst phenomenal landscape, you search out the wildlife on the plains and in the acacia woodlands, not forgetting the shores of the shallow alkaline lake itself. Although this is a small park, with much of it underwater, it is a varied environment with characteristic fig and mahogany trees prevalent here. You might spot Lake Manyara's renowned tree-climbing lions, but you could easily find elephant, hippo, wildebeest, buffalo and giraffe, plus many other species. A splash of color will be added by the pink-hued flamingos, one of 400 bird species recorded here. Also present are spoonbills, stilts, egrets, pelicans, cormorants and yellow-billed storks.

Dinner and Overnight at Highview Hotel Karatu

Day 2: Ngorongoro crater Full day tour.

Early morning breakfast and start a full day game drive at the Ngorongoro crater with a picnic lunch at the crater floor. Discover the natural habitat of more than 25,000 large mammals, including elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, jackal, waterbuck and baboons. Marvel at the majestic beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater on a full-day tour. Later in the afternoon drive back to Arusha with a drop off at your hotel in Arusha.
