Detailed Safari Itinerary

Day 1

Full Day Lake Manyara National Park Safari & Transfer to Karatu

Distance Approximately: 160 km; driving time approx. 2-3 hours

Meals Included: Lunch & Dinner Only

Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival, your dedicated safari guide will meet you at the airport to kickstart your safari adventure.

Lake Manyara is a small but special park in Tanzania's Northern Circuit, covering just 325 km². It's known for its 600-meter high Rift Valley, which offers stunning views. Despite its small size, the park boasts a diverse mix of landscapes, including marshes, savannahs, and acacia trees, along with a refreshing soda lake where animals gather to cool off during the dry season. It is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, these predators occasionally ascend the branches of acacia and mahogany trees, a behavior rarely witnessed elsewhere.

Given its smaller size, Lake Manyara presents an ideal opportunity for a relaxed game drive, providing the perfect start to your safari adventure.

Formed by a colossal volcanic explosion and collapse around 2 - 3 million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest unbroken volcanic crater and a UNESCO World Heritage site. On your game drive throughout the day keep a look out for over 300 different species of wildlife including the famous Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – which can all be found here.
