2 DAYS – LAKE MANYARA AND NGORONGORO CRATER

The group arrives at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Participants are greeted by a Hartlaub’s Travel representative and transferred to a hotel in Arusha.

Please keep in mind that the hotel fee only includes breakfast. Check-in begins at 2:00 p.m.

After breakfast (around 7:30 a.m.), your safari guide will arrive at the hotel and notify the receptionist that they are expecting you. After meeting your driver, you will travel to Lake Manyara National Park, where you will begin your first safari at 10:00 a.m.

You will visit the Maji Moto hot springs around lunchtime, and the driver will provide you with personal lunchboxes. The safari will continue after this stop, and you will be transferred to a hotel on the rim of the Ngorongoro volcanic crater by the evening.

This park's entire territory is cut through with ground water streams, which provide a favourable environment for plants as well as a plethora of birds (including pink flamingos) and African forest animals.

It is best to leave the hotel as early as possible on this day to see the variety of animals that are only active in the morning hours; breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. You'll leave at 6:30 a.m. for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and you'll be inside the crater in about an hour.

By lunchtime, you'll arrive at the lake's edge, where you'll be given lunchboxes before continuing on your safari. You will be transferred back to your hotel in Arusha in the evening.

Ngorongoro is one of Tanzania's most famous and interesting national parks, with the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometre. There will be buffalo, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippopotamuses, and feline species such as caracals and servals to see. The most fortunate visitors may even come across a rhinoceros, an endangered species whose numbers are rapidly dwindling.

Rest at the hotel before transferring to the airport.

Please keep in mind that the hotel's check-out time is normally 11:00 a.m. If you need to check out late due to an evening flight, you can extend your hotel stay until 6:00 PM for an additional fee.
