Also, this park is beautiful with the main attraction of tree climbing lions, its elephants and hippos that you can see at closer range than most other places. Lake Manyara is an alkaline lake and at certain times of the year hosts thousands of flamingoes and a diversity of other bird’s life. The lake and its environment is also home to herbivores such as hippos, impalas, elephants, wildebeests, buffalo, warthogs and giraffes.

• DAY 4 LAKE MANYARA TO NGORONGORO CRATER

  After breakfast, we descend into this magnificent crater for a half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole volcanic caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena. It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the world, not only because of its geological magnificence but also because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals. Another big draw card to this picturesque park is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, and afterwards, we will depart to Arusha town and we will end our adventure safari.
