Lake Manyara National Park, African Rift Valley View Point and Ngorongoro Crater 2 Days Safari

Your guide will meet you at your hotel, give you a short briefing regarding the safari, then you will travel westwards to the small Lake Manyara National Park. The park with its shallow alkaline lake is known for its over 400 bird species, primate-filled forests (look out for the long-tailed Guenon monkeys),  and grassy plains. A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara which is home to colonies of flamingos and other water birds. Apart from elephants, you might also spot giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, and impalas while the forests near the lake are teeming with noisy groups of monkeys and baboons. From the pop-up roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the sights and sounds of nature. There is an option (at an additional charge)  of viewing nature from the Manyara Treetops Walkway, a 370 suspended walking bridge hovering up to 18m above the forested area. In the late afternoon, we will take you to your evening’s accommodations. Because we will want to get inside of Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) early the next morning we prefer accommodations that are outside of the park, closer to the NCA. There are lodges and tented camps that are quite a good experience outside of the park. But for basic camping, will feel much more like “backyard camping” rather than an “in-the-wild”.  It is possible to camp either inside of Lake Manyara or leave early enough to camp inside the NCA. This is a more expensive option, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our price quote listed here will be for overnights outside of the parks.
