Dinner & Overnight: Impala Hotel (H.B)
Drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Though small in size, this gem offers a remarkable diversity of 5 distinct biospheres. Keep your eyes on the mahogany trees—this is the home of the famous tree-climbing lions. The soda lake often shimmers with pink flamingoes.
Overnight: Lake Manyara Hotel (B.L.D)
Journey to the crown jewel of Tanzania. As you enter the Serengeti (Swahili for 'Endless Plains'), the landscape opens up into vast, barren rocky vistas that defy imagination. En route to your lodge, witness Granite 'Kopjes'—ancient rock formations where lions and cheetahs often nap in the sun.
Overnight: Seronera Wildlife Lodge (B.L.D)
A full day dedicated to tracking the Great Migration. Choose between morning and afternoon game drives, or simply soak in the raw nature from the lodge.
Optional: Start your day floating above the plains with a sunrise Balloon Safari.
Transit toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at Olduvai Gorge, the "Cradle of Mankind," where the Leakey family discovered fossils linking human evolution. Arrive at the crater rim in time for a sumptuous lunch with breathtaking views.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge (B.L.D)
Descend 600 meters into the largest unbroken caldera on Earth. This "Garden of Eden" is home to the rare Black Rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the hippo pool. We explore until the sun paints the crater walls in purple and pink hues.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge (B.L.D)
Enjoy a final breakfast with a view. We drive back to Arusha for a light lunch and some last-minute shopping for Tanzanite or wood carvings before dropping you at the airport. Safari Njema.
