Important information about the Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Safari (Rongai) extension
Day 10: Lake Manyara
After breakfast you will visit Lake Manyara Park, it offers a blend of woodland, open bush, and lake. The Mahogany and Sausage Trees are alive with blue monkeys and vervets. Elephants feed off fallen fruit while bushbuck, waterbuck, baboons, aardvark, civet, the shy pangolin and leopard, all make their home in the forest. Lake Manyara is a magnet for birdlife and a kaleidoscope of different species can be found around its shores, including huge flocks of flamingos. The large variety of mammals, reptiles, birds and the different types of vegetation, all within a small area make Lake Manyara a diverse and particularly memorable place to visit. Overnight at a luxury tented camp. (B, L, D)
Day 11: Ngorongoro Crater
This morning you will take a drive to Ngorongoro Crater with a picnic lunch in the Crater, followed by an afternoon of top class game viewing. Ngorongoro Crater is the Eighth Wonder of the World. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is remarkable for the Ngorongoro Crater itself. Twelve miles wide, it is the world’s largest intact caldera. Before its collapse two million years ago, the volcano is believed to have been higher than Mount Kilimanjaro. Its grassland covered plains and forested rim is the habitat of herds of elephant. The grassy crater floor is home to buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and hartebeest as well as the endangered black rhino. Hippos wallow in the marshes and ponds. Lion, hyena, and jackal are common. Birdlife is prolific. Overnight at a luxury tented camp. (B, L, D)
Day 12: Safari in Tarangire
Today you will head west out of Arusha on a drive (approx 1.5hr) to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire boasts a vast number of baobabs that first capture the eye as you enter Tarangire National Park. The gently rolling countryside is dotted with these majestic trees, which seem to dwarf the animals that feed beneath them. Tarangire National Park covers approximately 2,600sq kms and, in the dry season, is second only to Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area in concentrations of wildlife. The park is spectacular in the dry season when many of the migratory wildlife species come back to the permanent waters of Tarangire River. Huge herds of elephants gather to stay in Tarangire until the onset of the rains when they migrate again to new grazing areas. In the afternoon you will be transferred to Arusha for your last night in Tanzania. Overnight and dinner at a hotel in Arusha. (B, L, D)
