After landing at Arusha Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our friendly safari team and begin a scenic two-hour drive toward Lake Manyara National Park. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, this lush park is renowned for its rich biodiversity and its famous tree-climbing lions.
As you journey through the park, enjoy sightings of elephants, baboons, hippos, and an impressive variety of birdlife. Around midday, you’ll take a break at a scenic picnic site equipped with restrooms—an ideal spot to relax and enjoy your lunch surrounded by nature.
In the late afternoon, you’ll exit the park and head toward the nearby village of Mto wa Mbu. Here, you’ll have a chance to immerse yourself in local culture with a brief stop to sample traditional Tanzanian food and drinks before continuing on to your lodge for a well-deserved rest.

On your second day, after an early breakfast, you'll set out for the legendary Ngorongoro Crater—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to spot all of the Big Five. The earlier we begin, the better your chances of witnessing lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and the rare black rhino in action.
As you descend into the vast, bowl-shaped caldera, you’ll be surrounded by dramatic scenery and an incredible density of wildlife. Covering roughly 260 square kilometres (100 square miles), the crater is home to over 30,000 animals and more than 500 bird species.
Midday, you’ll stop at a designated picnic site near a hippo pool to enjoy your lunch and take a short break. Afterward, you'll continue exploring the crater floor before beginning your return drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport.
You’ll arrive at the airport to catch your flight to Zanzibar, ready for the next chapter of your adventure.
