7-Day Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire Safari

Duration

3 days

Overview

Lake Manyara National Park is home to Tanzania’s Lake Manyara. More than 400 bird species, including pelicans and the greater and lesser flamingos, dwell in Lake Manyara, a soda ash lake. During the dry season, which runs from June to October, Lake Manyara National Park is well known for its big baboon troops and tree-climbing lions. The park is ideal for those who enjoy birds, and its stunning landscape is a pleasure to behold.

Visit Serengeti National Park which, considered a World Heritage Site, overflows with a multitude of wildlife species. The Serengeti, its name meaning ‘endless plains’ in the Swahili language, lies in Northern Tanzania, dotted with majestic trees and a habitat to the lions among other cat predators. The annual Great Migration begins in the Serengeti as wildebeests, zebras and gazelles traverse its golden plains in search of water and fresh grass, a seasonal pattern controlled by rainfall and grass nutrients.

Next, proceed to the Ngorongoro Crater. The Crater, the world’s largest extinct and intact caldera, is widely known for its own well-established and safeguarded wildlife ecosystem. Large herds of wildlife, including Black rhinos, buffalos, zebras, leopards, cheetahs, impalas, and hippos, co-exist on the crater’s floor, which is accessible by descent. Annually, in the months of February or March, wildebeests migrate from the Serengeti to the Crater’s northern Ndutu Area to give birth.
Named after the Tarangire River that runs across it, Tarangire National Park is a popular travel destination. Tarangire, greatly associated with its ancient Baobab trees, is home to a sizable population of African elephants. Wildebeests, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, and zebras are among the numerous animal species found in the park. During the dry season, these animals come to the Tarangire River to drink water, making Tarangire a game viewing haven.

Tour Plan

Day 01 ARUSHA TO LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Our agent will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha or from the Kilimanjaro International Airport. You will board your waiting 4*4 Land Cruiser and start your journey to Lake Manyara National Park following the itinerary briefing. Before going on a game drive in the park, you will arrive at your lodging, check in, and eat lunch.
The scenery of the relatively small Lake Manyara National Park is stunning. Water buffaloes, zebras, antelopes, wildebeests, and a sizable population of baboons are present during the green season, when the lake's waters cover two-thirds of the park. The park's main allure is its tree-climbing lions, which have adapted to resting in treetops and avoiding the daytime heat.
A sanctuary for birdwatchers, Lake Manyara offers a breathtaking view of the flock of pink-hued flamingos against the horizon, as well as the pelicans that are always by their side. Of its 400-recorded species, over 50 species are birds of prey including the African Hawk Eagle and the Crowned Eagle. Others are migratory birds, present at the lake in the months of November to April.
Afterwards, head back to your lodging for dinner and spend the night.

The Serengeti is home to a diversity of wildlife and despite it being a protected park, it is unfenced, thus leaving migration corridors open and ensuring free roaming of wildlife. Serengeti hosts one of the largest concentration of predators including lions, cheetahs and hyenas. Herds of African Elephants gently tread its vast plains and woodlands, feasting on leaves and branches in its path.
Relish a picnic lunch within the park while overlooking the expanse of Serengeti’s golden plains. Afterwards, make your way back to your lodging/accommodation, enjoy a delectable meal and have a goodnight’s rest.

Serengeti, famously ‘the place where the land runs on forever’, has four sections including the Eastern, Northern, Central and Southern sections. In Northern Serengeti, the part where the Serengeti meets Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, abundant wildlife species such as zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, elands, giraffes, elephants, lions, hippos and crocodiles dwell within the stunning landscapes.
The Eastern sector of Serengeti welcomes the wildebeests and zebras back from the Mara due to its green pastures the wildlife can feed on, while the western sector hosts most of the carnivores, elephants and Nile crocodiles in the park. The southern and central sectors are the most attractive sectors of the Serengeti, with a dotted savannah furnished with acacia trees and large herds of wildlife species.
Traverse the Serengeti plains, visiting all its sectors and enjoying an experience of a lifetime. For Bird Lovers, the park in its entirety also hosts over 500 recorded bird species scattered across all sections of the park.

Certain animals inhabit the crater year-round, while others such as the wildebeests, migrate in and out, returning during the calving season.
The Olduvai Gorge, known as the "Cradle of Mankind," is also located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Gorge, which is reputed to be the location of the first discovered remains of the first human beings to roam the earth, provides evidence for human evolution through discovery of ancient stone tools.
