Lake Manyara Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro
This is one of our most popular tours as it allows you to spend a very reasonable amount of time in the Serengeti (2 nights). You'll still have the chance of exploring Ngorongoro and Manyara or Tarangire National Parks. You can either do the tour by land (circle itinerary) or fly back from the Serengeti to remove the backtracking.

Day by Day

Day 1 Lake Manyara National Park
Morning 🏨Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge > Luxury lodge located on the escarpment above Lake Manyara NP 🍽All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
You'll be picked up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, as well as a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described in words. The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon, return to the camp for dinner. Possibility to downgrade or upgrade your accommodation level. NOTE: You can replace this park with Tarangire NP or add an extra day and visit both.
Day 2 Serengeti National park
Morning 🏨Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti > Luxury lodge located inside Central Serengeti NP 🍽All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park. Possibility to downgrade or upgrade your accommodation level.
Day 3 Serengeti National Park
Morning 🏨Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti > Luxury lodge located inside Central Serengeti NP 🍽All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Enjoy a full day in the Serengeti National Park. We are completely flexible with your preferences and this day will be organized according to your wishes. Every day of the safari, your guide will discuss with you the best timings for you, including the game drives and wake-up time. For example, on this day, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full day game drive with a picnic lunch. Possibility to downgrade or upgrade your accommodation level.
Day 4 Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro
Morning 🏨Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp > Luxury tented camp located on the crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater 🍽All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up call in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we'll return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner. Possibility to downgrade or upgrade your accommodation level.
Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater
Morning 🏨No accommodation (End of the tour) 🍽All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha at around 5 pm, although, we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or another situation.
