Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Lake Manyara National Park

    You'll start by driving into Lake Manyara National Park to see the different landscapes there, from acacia woodlands to underground water forests. The park is known for baboons, giraffes, elephants, impalas, and lions that climb trees, which you'll have a chance to spot during your game viewing. After spending the full day looking for wildlife, you drive to Marera Valley Lodge where dinner and your first night's stay are waiting for you.

    Ngorongoro Crater

    This morning you'll have breakfast early before heading into the Ngorongoro Crater on a steep, narrow road. As you drive down, the scenery changes from forested slopes to open savannah. You have good odds of seeing the Big Five along with warthogs, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, and hyenas throughout the day. Lunch happens as a picnic right in the crater, and then you drive back for another overnight stay.

From your safari vehicle with its open roof, you can watch elephants, Masai giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and over 500 kinds of birds.

    · January 19th, 2025
    Everything was perfect, communicating with Iddy was fluid and easy since the beginning! We are so happy with the hotels, the food (we really appreciate that we had good meals and not just boxes with cold sandwiches), the game drives.. We had a really good time with Regi, he was really the perfect guide and he did his best so that we have an amazing experience! He’s so passionate about nature, warmhearted and funny, we learned a lot with him!
