Day 6 Ngorongoro Crater – Lake Manyara

On this day after an early breakfast descends over 600 meters into the Crater floor for a wonderful game drive. Ngorongoro crater was formed some 3 million years ago due to some internal forces under the earth’s crust. The eruption left a caldera of about 12 miles wide & walls of over 600 meters. Enough drinking water & fodder at the crater floor supports a big number of wildlife which include herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, eland, warthog, African elephant & the rare black rhinos. Another big draw car in this picturesque caldera is a dense population of predators which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs & the ever-elusive leopard that sometimes needs a trained eye to spot. You will also visit Lake Magadi a larger but shallow alkaline lake at the Southeast corner of the Crater frequently visited by hippos & many aquatic birds. Later afternoon drive to Lake Manyara for an overnight stay.

Accommodation: Lake Manyara Serena Hotel

Day 7 Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, we drive to our final destination on this epic safari – Lake Manyara National Park. This relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha, is so named for the shallow salt lake which covers a good seventy percent of the park’s surface area. Flooding and drying with the season’s soda lake is home to thousands of flamingos as well as over 500 other bird species. On our exploration of the park, we will see monkeys, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs. After another memorable game drive we, with our adventure at an end, return to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport in the late afternoon, replete with images of the African wilds to last a lifetime.
