Your itinerary
- Day 1: Kilimanjaro International Airport - Arusha
- On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our driver will meet you and transfer you to Arusha, a drive of about 45 to 60 minutes. As you settle in, you’ll begin to get a feel for the surroundings, with views of the landscape and glimpses of local life along the way. On arrival at your lodge, there’s time to relax after your journey before dinner and overnight.
- Day 2: Arusha - Lake Manyala
- After breakfast in Arusha, we set off towards Lake Manyara, a drive of about two hours through the scenic highlands of the Rift Valley. As we enter the park, the landscape shifts quickly from forest to open areas along the lake. We enjoy a packed lunch inside before spending the afternoon exploring, with chances of seeing giraffes, elephants, and a rich variety of birdlife, including flamingoes along the lake’s edge, before heading to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
- Day 3: Lake Manyara - Ngorongoro
- After breakfast in the Lake Manyara camp, we set out on a final morning game drive across the endless plains, a last chance to take in the wildlife before leaving. As we head towards Ngorongoro, we enjoy a packed lunch along the way. The drive takes about 3.5 hours, and as we reach the crater rim, the vast Ngorongoro Crater suddenly opens up below a moment where you truly realise how big it is. By late afternoon, we arrive at the lodge for dinner and overnight.
- Day 3: Ngorongoro crater - Kilimanjaro International Airport.
- Today is a highlight of your safari as we set off after an early breakfast and head down into the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive itself is part of the experience, winding through forest before opening onto the crater floor below. Once inside, it’s full of life lions, elephants, and if we’re lucky, even rhino. We spend the morning exploring and enjoy a packed lunch in this incredible setting. Later, we begin the five-hour drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport, with plenty of memories to take home.
