Day 3 Safari in Lake Manyara Nation Park
Today you will roll down the hill and find yourselves already at the gates of Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara is an attractive national park with a diverse and unusual landscape. It is situated on the edge of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, which gives life to the lake itself. The lake is a Salt Lake which is inhabited by flamingos who use it as a breeding ground. Hippos can be viewed in pools surrounding the eastern shores. The park has a beautiful woodland that gives life to a rich diversity of bird and butterfly populations and antelope that you are unlikely to see elsewhere. Forest elephants occupy these areas also but this park is best known for its tree-climbing lions. Also view Maasai giraffe, wildebeest, water buffalo, warthog, ostrich, mongoose, baboon, vervet monkey, blue monkey, and over 350 species of birds. There’s also a chance to visit the hot springs and lake pontoon to get those close-up photo shots of Hippos.
Day 4 Safari in Ngorongoro National Park and Crater
On the third Safari day, you will visit Ngorongoro National Park and Crater. Voted one of the 7 Natural wonders of the world in 2013. Once you’ve gazed on the sheer spectacle of the largest intact caldera in the world you can understand why. A crater formed by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago gives life to a wildlife paradise where dense populations of large mammals have entered and never found a reason to leave. Here it’s possible to spot the endangered Black Rhino where only 5000 are left in existence.
Home to flamingos, lions, elephants, leopards, serval, hyenas, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, hippo, ostrich, monkey, baboon, gazelle, crowned crane, and antelope, there is a huge diversity of species to view. Not only the animal life but the geography is like no other with the crater rim giving a wonderful panoramic view at all times encompassing a number of different ecological zones, including acacia woodland, forest, grassland plains, lakes, and craggy outcrops. Late afternoon you will head back to Arusha and have the option to visit a Maasai Village and learn about the customs and cultures of this amazing tribe.
