You leave Arusha in the afternoon and drive to the Ngorongoro Crater Conservancy (approx 4 hr). This is quite possibly the most famous of all Africa's conservation areas.

Home to an abundance of wildlife, the crater is a favoured spot for wildlife due to the permanent water and grassland on the crater floor.

You stand a very good chance of seeing the Big 5 (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino & elephant) over the course of a morning or evening's game drive. Spend the night at the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge, where you will enjoy dinner overlooking the Crater.

First thing in the morning, after an early breakfast, you are taken on a tour of the Ngorongoro Crater. Lunch is served back at the lodge. In the late afternoon you head for Lake Manyara (approx 2 hr).

You spend the night at the Lake Manyara Hotel, which overlooks the Lake itself. One of the most diverse of Tanzania's National Parks, Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions as well as being a paradise for around 380 species of birds. The forests are also one of the best places to catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard. Enjoy dinner back at the hotel.

This morning, you are taken on a game drive through Lake Manyara National Park, before departing to Mountain Village at Lake Duluti (approx 3hr15min).

Situated 12km from Arusha, the reserve covers the inner slopes of a small crater around Lake Duluti on the southern foothills of Mount Meru, at an altitude of 1,260m.

After breakfast, you are transferred back to Arusha for your onward arrangements.

There are many exciting safari adventures that you can add onto this tour. Speak to your Go2Africa consultant and see what suits you.
