Day 1

Arusha

It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania! After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari.

Arusha is an important part of your northern Tanzanian safari and not just because of its position as a gateway to the safari parks of the country's north. With its dynamic street life and markets, fascinating museums and enticing street food, it's an exciting city that deserves exploring.

Day 2

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara is one of the most underestimated national parks in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale, at once compact (this is one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Rift Valley escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary). You’ll see plenty of baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen forest, and watch for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. Thanks to the proximity of lake, forest and rock walls, the birdlife will also tease out your inner birder – don’t forget your binoculars.

Activities Day 2

Early Morning

Transfer by Road, Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park
Transfer time; 2 to 3 hours

Morning & Afternoon

Join us for a guided game drive through the forests and along the lakeshore of Lake Manyara, where sightings of the park's elephants and tree-climbing lions are the main prize, all in the company of an expert guide.

Late Afternoon

Late in the afternoon, you will transfer by Road from Lake Manyara National Park to Marera Valley Lodge
Transfer time; about 30 minutes

Accommodation Day 2

Marera Valley Lodge

Lodge Class: Mid-Range

The rooms at Marera Valley Lodge are like understated temples to good taste and you'll sleep well here. Although you're close to Karatu, you're nicely removed from the main road that connects Ngorongoro Crater with Lake Manyara National Park. The well-kept lawns and swimming pool, not to mention the fine restaurant and sweeping views of the Crater Highlands, all add to the appeal of staying here.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro is a special place and the first time that you descend onto the crater floor is like no other safari experience in Africa. This is a world unto itself, one where you’ll encounter the crater’s 600-strong population of hyenas, as well as critically endangered black rhinos. You’ll also find elephants with larger-than-average tusks, and more than 50 lions living in the crater. But it’s the sheer beauty of Ngorongoro that will most likely live longest in your memory. From early morning, mist rises from the crater, revealing steep, forested walls, secret waterways where hippos wallow, and a world of abundant wildlife hidden away from the rest of the world.
