Itinerary:
Day 1: ARUSHA / LAKE MANYARA
1400 Hrs after lunch in a restaurant
in Arusha, depart for Lake Manyara
National Park. Arrive ready for an
evening game drive in Lake Manyara
National Park.
The park covers 330 sq. km, 70% of
which is occupied by the lake. The
varied ecosystem consists of ground
water forests, acacia woodland and
open grassland along the lakeshore
and sustains a wealth of wildlife,
including the Big Five -lion,
elephant, leopard, rhino and
buffalo. The park is famous for the
elusive tree-climbing lions that
inhabit the woodland between the
lake and the Rift Valley. It is also
an ornithologists’ paradise and is
host to over 400 species of birds.

Mto Wa Mbu
Day 2: SERENGETI
After breakfast, collect lunch boxes
and depart for Serengeti National
Park. You arrive ready for an
afternoon game drive in the park.
The Serengeti is probably the most
famous wildlife sanctuary in the
world. Within its 15,000 sq km area
it hosts 3 million large mammals.
More than 35 species of plain
animals- zebra, wildebeest, eland,
giraffe, and others are found here.
And so for the big five: elephant,
lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino.
The park is the staging zone for one
the most spectacular events in the
natural world- the annual migration
of wildebeest. This commences around
June when over 1 million wildebeest,
zebra and gazelle head for the
Maasai Mara in Kenya in search of
pasture. They are followed closely
by the predators of the savanna-
lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal,
hyena and vultures. The Serengeti
also has over 500 species of birds.
