EAST AFRICA Downtown Providing Fascinating Travel Experiences
During your private tailor-made safari, you will be accommodated in or near the parks as described below. The days will be spent giving you the best game viewing experience possible in each park, with either morning and afternoon game drives, or full day excursions. If you are opting to do a "drive-in" safari, the drives between parks may be broken with cultural visits to local villages, or historical hot pots and further game viewing, guaranteeing that your transfers are far f rom boring.
Day 1: Kilimanjaro, Arusha
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport you will be greeted by our representative and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. The rest of the day is free to rest from the long trip and recuperate a little of your jet leg. Accommodation at the hotel.
Day 2: Arusha, Lake Manyara
After breakfast, your driver/guide will meet you for the start of your safari
with a drive to Lake Manyara. Enjoy a picnic lunch in Lake Manyara National Park during your game drive. This afternoon transfer to the Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge for accommodation in a standard room. Dinner at the lodge. [B/L/D]
Day 3: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro
After breakfast get ready for your next stop, Ngorongoro, considered the “Cradle of Mankind” and a sanctuary to most of the Af rican animal species. You
will travel for about 2 hours on a tarred road from Lake Manyara to Ngorongoro. The best part about this trip is that you may arrange with your driver/guide when and how to organize your day. We suggest you take an early morning game drive in Lake Manyara before heading to Ngorongoro and arrive at your destination in time for lunch. This way you balance your stay between the 2 parks. After you check- in and have lunch get a first look at the magnificent Ngorongoro Park with an afternoon game drive that you may schedule with your driver/guide. Then enjoy the peaceful sundown and
dinner at the lodge before you retire for overnight. [B/L/D]
Day 4: Ngorongoro
Today, after breakfast, head down into the Ngorongoro Caldera close to 2,000 ft. below the floor of the crater. Spend the day enjoying game viewing in one of the most spectacular places on earth! Photographic opportunities are abundant, and one often sees four of the Big Five in a short time (the Big Five are the African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, Af rican leopard, and white/black rhinoceros). Explore the forest areas that are inhabited by monkey and elephant, the lake area, where you may see the flamingos and the open savannah where the lions hunt for food. Have a picnic lunch at the floor of the crater at a pleasant lakeside location where you can stretch your legs and soak up the
