The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara, which covers 230 square km, attracts pink flamingos and other birdlife. You’ll also see resident hippo pods at the lake. The park is known for its tree-climbing lions, and you may be lucky enough to spot leopards and hyenas. You can also expect to see are large herds of elephants, wildebeests, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, warthogs and impalas. There’s also a huge primate population including the common monkey, vervet monkey and baboons. You’ll leave Lake Manyara just before sunset and head to your lodge in Karatu for dinner. *Optional accommodation upgrade at an extra cost.
Day 3
After breakfast, you’ll leave Ngorongoro and drive to the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most famous national park, where you'll spend the following two nights.

Every year, over 2.5 million wildebeests migrate from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. If you're visiting at the right time, you’ll see herds of wildebeest and zebra stretching to the horizon. On the second day, you’ll have the opportunity for a morning and afternoon game drive on the vast plains of the Serengeti where you’ll spot an abundance of African wildlife. This spectacular national park offers amazing wildlife viewing opportunities and it’s highly likely that you’ll see zebra, impala, Grants gazelle, wildebeest, buffalo, rhino and elephant.
