The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara, which covers 230 square kilometres, attracts pink flamingos and other bird life. At Lake Manyara National Park you’ll see resident hippo pods at the lake, tree-climbing lions, large herds of elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, warthog and impala, plus you may be lucky enough to spot leopards and hyenas.

Day 5-7 Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you’ll leave Ngorongoro and drive to the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most famous national park. The Serengeti offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa and is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth, the Great Migration. Every year, over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate north from Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The herds must brave the perilous Mara River, which runs through the Masai Mara Game Reserve on the Kenyan side and Serengeti National Park on the Tanzanian side. They face treacherous water currents and dangerous predators as they cross the river in search of greener pastures. With crocodiles lurking in the muddy waters and lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas patrolling the river banks, this is a particularly dangerous time to be a wildebeest or a zebra. You can also enjoy bush walks in the Serengeti led by local Maasai warriors, providing an authentic walking safari experience.
