Embark on an exciting safari in Lake Manyara National Park, a breathtaking destination known for its diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife. This compact park surrounds a stunning alkaline lake and features a mix of East African environments, including lush forests, open plains, rugged cliffs, and dense woodlands.
During your game drive, keep an eye out for the park's remarkable wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, and a variety of bird species. Lake Manyara is also famous for its elusive tree-climbing lions, a rare sight that makes this park unique.
After an exhilarating day exploring the park, continue your journey to Lake Eyasi, a serene and lesser-visited destination, where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at a comfortable lodge.
Today, go on a cultural tour at Lake Eyasi, where you will meet the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. The Hadzabe are one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in East Africa. You will learn about their traditional way of life, how they hunt using bows and arrows, and their deep connection to nature.
Next, visit the Datoga people, a semi-nomadic tribe known for their blacksmithing skills. Watch as they make tools, weapons, and jewelry using traditional methods. You will also have the chance to take part in their daily activities, including archery practice, hunting demonstrations, and traditional dances.
This cultural experience will give you a unique insight into how these tribes live in harmony with nature. Later in the day, travel to Ngorongoro Crater, where you will have dinner and stay overnight.
Today, set off on an exciting safari as you descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. This massive natural wonder, with its steep 600-meter (2,000-foot) walls, is home to a vast array of wildlife. The crater offers some of the best game-viewing opportunities in Africa.
In the early morning, watch for predators on the hunt, and if you're lucky, you might spot the rare black rhino. Along with the Big 5, you’ll see zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and countless other animals roaming the crater floor.
After an unforgettable safari, travel to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight home or return to Arusha Town.
