And thanks to this, the small park is able to support a large number of animal species and incredible bird life. Manyara has the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world, and the lions there are also renowned for their tree climbing. Dinner and overnight at the Campsite.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, you will descend into the heart of wild Africa, the Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.

Then head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Seronera Campsite or similar.

Day 7: Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Today, you will have an early-morning game drive, you will depart to Ngorongoro Conservation Area after that. You will stop at Olduvai Gorge, boasting with a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was there that anthropologists Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of "Nutcracker Man" and "Handy Man," both very significant links in the chain of human evolution. You will have a late afternoon transfer to Ngorongoro Campsite where you will have dinner and overnight.

Day 8: Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha - Airport

After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.

Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater.
