Today, we'll go from Arua to Lake Manyara National Park.
We leave early in the morning after breakfast for Lake Manyara National Park, which is a pristine paradise known for its many birds and cats that climb trees. The Park's western line is the scenic western cliff of the Rift Valley. East of the park is Lake Manyara, which is small and alkaline. A lot of the park is covered by the lake, which floods and dries out with the seasons. When it rains, thousands of flamingos live there. The name Manyara comes from the Maasai word for a famous plant that is used to build a wall around a family farm called a boma. The Park has a wide range of plants, from grassland to evergreen forest. If you're lucky, you might see lions relaxing in the trees while you're exploring the park. You might also see giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, and elephants.
Our trip ends with a long game drive and lunch. For dinner and the night, we return to our campsite.
Accommodation: Migombani Camp
Meal plan: breakfast, lunch, and dinner
We leave for Ngorongoro crater after breakfast. By the time we get to the edge of the Crater, we can see the entire volcanic crater, which is home to more big animals than any other place in Africa. Behind the steep volcanic walls of Ngorongoro Crater lies a pristine desert with wide grassland, patches of acacia woodland, and lakes and swamps that sparkle in the sun. Two to three million years ago, a big volcano blew up and fell in on itself, making the Crater. It is well-known for both its beautiful geology and the fact that it is a nature reserve where some of the densest populations of big mammals in all of Africa live. Even the drive down into the Crater is an adventure. Once you get to the floor of the Crater, you'll quickly be surrounded by a lot of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 different kinds of birds. The best place to see the rare black rhino is in the Crater, where you might be able to find one in the open fields.
We have a picnic lunch at Ngorongoro and then climb up the sides of the crater. On the way to Serengeti National Park, we go on a game drive.
Accommodation: Nyani Campsite
Meal plan: breakfast, lunch, and dinner
It is famous for its huge open fields that make it easy to see a lot of wildlife. The Serengeti is truly amazing. The Serengeti is one of the oldest environments on Earth and Tanzania's largest national park. The environment and plants there haven't changed much in millions of years. There is a lot of wildlife in the Serengeti, but the Great Migration may be its most famous event. Many wildebeest, along with many zebras and cattle, move every year in the same routine, always looking for new grass to graze on. It depends on how much rain falls each year to tell exactly when the Migration will happen.
After a picnic lunch, we go on a game drive through the Serengeti's endless fields on our way to our camping in Karatu.
Accommodation: Migombani Camp
Meal plan: breakfast, lunch, and dinner
We leave for our final location, Tarangire National Park, after breakfast. The Tarangire River flows through the Park, which is how it got its name. Wildlife in the area can only get water from this "river of warthogs" during the dry season. There are areas with a lot of plants, like elephant grass, acacia woods, and lush groundwater forests. People come to the Park to see the elephant families, who often hang out by the river. There are also chances to see giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest. Many dangerous animals, like lions and leopards, are very close to these animals. Tarangire National Park is home to more bird types that breed there than anywhere else on Earth.
We go back to Arusha after a long game drive, which is the end of our journey.
Breakfast and lunch are on the menu.
