Lake Manyara National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is known for its unique habitats and animals. A wildlife drive over Lake Manyara provides a unique experience due to its stunning splendor and diverse flora and animals. Here are some significant takeaways from a Lake Manyara wildlife drive. The park provides beautiful views of the Great Rift Valley and the escarpment. The scenery is stunning, and the lake makes an excellent backdrop for animal photography.

Day 3: Transfer to Serengeti National Park
Following breakfast, your driver guide will take you to Tanzania’s oldest and most famous national park, the Serengeti. It takes up to 3 hours and 30 minutes to arrive before your game drive begins. Unlike many other places on the earth, the Serengeti has a unique ecology. The stunning environment, vivid changing light, and, of course, the multitude of animals that call here home will captivate you. With thousands of predators and hundreds of thousands of prey, it’s no wonder that there is always something interesting going on in animal groups.
Later retire back to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 4: Full Day Game Drive in Serengeti
When you see the early sunrise in the Serengeti, you will have an unforgettable experience. As long as you’re in the world’s most famous national park, you’ll have constant access to authentic African views, wildlife noises, and fragrances. Today, you will have a full day of adventure. After breakfast, you’ll go on a morning game drive across Serengeti National Park, exploring the magnificent boundless scenery and always-entertaining species described by your experienced driver-guide.
Later retire back to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 5: Transfer to Ngorongoro Conservation Area- Crater Drive
Following breakfast at dawn, you will travel to Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest once-active volcanic crater and the center of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You do not want to miss out on anything in this elephant kingdom. As they near the end of their lives, the large male tuskers come to graze on the soft swampland grasses on the side of the surrounding swampland, which is sometimes referred to as the “elephant graveyard.”
The Ngorongoro Crater is notable for its large quantity of wildlife. Statistics suggest that there are around 9,000 zebras, 15,000 gnus, 120 lions with well-defined territories, 400 hyenas, and approximately 50 black rhinos.
Later retire back to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
