5 days safari:

Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

You will be picked up at your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and drive to Lake Manyara (about 2 hours from Arusha). Then you will unpack at a camp site before you continue to Lake Manyara National Park. Lunch will be served inside the park with a beautiful view over the lake and Great Rift Valley. The park has a dense forest so you will get very close to Black monkeys, Blue monkeys and baboons. Also, you can get very close to elephants, giraffes and hippos. If you are lucky you can see lions on the trees. The park has a very nice lake with plenty of birds. After the game drive you will return to the camp site where dinner will be served. The campsite is close to the village called “Mosquito River” so you can take a walk there in the evening.

Wake up early and drive to Serengeti National Park. This is a long drive so you will eat lunch on the way to the park. You will pass Ngorongoro crater and can take a look down from a good view point. On the way to the camp site inside Serengeti you will do a game drive. Dinner will be served at the camp site where you will sleep.

If you are not lazy, you will have a game drive in the early morning when the sun is rising. At this time many animals will be more active than later on the day when the sun is stronger. Breakfast will be served when you return to the camp. After resting, you will continue with the game drive for the rest of the day, only broken by lunch served at the camp. You can see zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and many different birds. Dinner will be served in the evening at the camp where you sleep.

Wake up early and pack the car. Game drive and lunch in Serengeti. After lunch you will start driving to Ngorongoro crater. On the way you will do a game drive. In the evening you will arrive at the Crater rim where you will eat dinner and stay the night. It can be cold here compared to Serengeti.

Wake up early and descend the crater. The whole day will be spent doing a game drive and lunch will be served by the water in the crater. If you are lucky you can see the Big 5 inside the crater. There is also a lake in the crater with 1000 of flamingos. Usually you can see many antelopes, zebras, gnus and hippos. In the afternoon you will start to drive back to Arusha or Moshi.
