The Great Northern Explorer
6 Days | Lake Manyara • Serengeti • Ngorongoro Crater
Embark on a journey through Tanzania’s most iconic wilderness—from the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Manyara to the sweeping plains of the Serengeti, and into the ancient volcanic amphitheatre of Ngorongoro Crater. This six-day odyssey blends dramatic landscapes, rich culture, and unmatched game viewing for the ultimate East African safari experience.
Where Rift Valley Cliffs Meet Flamingo Shores
After lunch in Arusha, set off for Lake Manyara National Park, where towering escarpments give way to a shimmering soda lake. Your lodge—perched with sweeping views over the valley—is inspired by the colours and patterns of the vibrant birdlife. As evening falls, you may spot storks, pelicans, and flamingos circling above the glimmering lake. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
From Forested Springs to the Endless Plains
Begin your morning with a game drive through the diverse ecosystems of Lake Manyara—lush groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, and lakeshores teeming with flamingos. Watch for tree-climbing lions, playful baboons, and wallowing hippos. After lunch, journey onward to the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Arrive at your lodge in time for a breathtaking sunset over the savannah. Dinner and overnight in the heart of the wild.
Witness Nature in Motion
Today is dedicated to full-day exploration of the Serengeti, where over 4 million plains animals roam free. With a packed picnic lunch, track predators on the hunt, marvel at migrating herds, and listen to the sounds of life in the wild. Your lodge—designed to blend harmoniously with the landscape—offers panoramic views of the plains and a true sense of place. Dinner and overnight under the Serengeti skies.
Tracing Ancient Paths to the Cradle of Life
After a morning game drive and breakfast, travel to Ngorongoro Conservation Area via the storied Olduvai Gorge, where traces of early mankind were discovered. Pause to take in this awe-inspiring archaeological site before continuing to your lodge perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Tonight, dine with one of the most dramatic backdrops in Africa—overlooking the 260 sq. km caldera below.
Into the World’s Largest Intact Caldera
Descend 2,000 feet into the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of exceptional wildlife viewing. This natural amphitheatre shelters nearly every species found in East Africa, including rhinos, elephants, lions, and thousands of birds. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the hippo pools, then ascend back to the crater rim for your final night in this Eden of East Africa.
Return with the Wild in Your Heart
After breakfast, bid farewell to the Highlands and drive back to Arusha, arriving in time for lunch. The safari may end here—but your connection to this wild and wondrous land will last forever.
