This morning 8:00am after breakfast you will be picked up Moshi by your professional safari guide and driver. From there you will be driven through to Arusha National Park. Often overlooked due to its small size, Arusha National Park is a beautiful escape from the bustling city only 30 kilometers Arusha town as well as the Moshi town 75kilometers.

Arusha National Park has the most beautiful and topographically varied parks in Tanzania. The diverse landscapes boast with enchanted jungle paths, open green fields, crystalline lakes and rushing rivers

The park’s three most significant features include;-

  • Mount Meru (Tanzania’s second highest peak at 4566m and is Africa’s fifth highest mountain. This active volcano is a beautiful sight to behold)
  • Momela Lakes, This collection of seven shallow lakes entices all sorts of wildlife to bask in the alkaline waters. You’ll see waterbucks, dik-diks, zebras, giraffes, and birds galore hanging out at the lakes
  • Wide Ngurdoto Crater, which was formed about fifteen million years ago.

In Arusha National Park we will enjoy an exciting morning game drive, lunch at picnic and afternoon game drive, visiting both the Momela Lakes and the Ngurdoto Crater.

An amazing wildlife which discovered within the park include African buffalos, elephants, hippos, giraffe, warthogs, antelopes, zebras, blue monkeys and sometimes a rare leopard or hyena.

Birdlife here is prolific, with many species like the narina trogon and bar-tailed trogon which are not common in many other areas.

Return to the Hotel at the end of the day and get ready for tomorrow’s adventure.

Day 2: Arusha National Park – Lake Manyara

After breakfast you will be picked up from there you will be driven through west to the Great Rift Valley and the Lake Manyara National Park.

We will arrive in nearly time for lunch. After lunch we head into the Lake Manyara National Park

The Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located African wildlife areas, consisting of a massive but shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment.

The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including:

  • One of Africa’s densely populated African elephants herds, Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions,
  • As well as large flocks of flamingos, attracted by the algae in the lake.
  • We will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park and do two exciting morning and afternoon game drives, in search of the tree-climbing lions. Other animals seen are zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, and others

Drive to your lodge at the end of the day for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

  Ngorongoro Crater
  Non game-viewing travel time: | 2 & 5 hours
  Distance: | 50km & 270 km
  Meals: | Breakfast
| Lunch

After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder,

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania’s national parks because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species;-

  • Include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.
  • Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard

By enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, after which we travel back to Moshi or Arusha where we will end our African safari adventure.
