Lake Manyara is a good soft introduction to the safari

route between the banks of Soda Water Lake and the
impressive rise of the Great Rift escarpment. Elephant,
giraffe, buffalo and wildebeest can be found grazing in
unexpected clearings or heading towards the water to
drink or wash, and the rivers and riverbeds provide
scenic vistas for possible animal spotting.

tusked, and it is a natural playground for baboons and
monkeys. The tree-climbing lion of Lake Manyara inspire
extensive theorizing as to the wonders of evolution, and
are also notoriously rarely seen.

to find enough water and green grass for their
survival.During July, the migrating heards are still in
the Masai Mara across.
The National Park is broadly divided into three distinct
areas, the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the
Western Corridor and the Northern Lobo area that extends

local tribes are permitted to maintain their traditional
lifestyles in as natural environment as possible.
This extraordinary volcanic landscape is rich and
fertile, with stunning craters and lakes.
The Crater is also referred to as the eighth wonder of
the world and stretching across some 8,300 sq km. In
the evening ascend to the lodge for dinner and overnight
at Crater Forest Lodge.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact
caldera in an exceptional geographical position, forming
a spectacular bowl of about 265 sq km with sides up to
600m deep. It is the stalking ground of 20 to 30,000
wild animals at any one time.
The crater floor consists of a number of ecological
environments that include grassland, swamps, forests and
Lake Makat, a central soda lake filled by the Munge
River. All these various habitats attract various
wildlife to drink, wallow, graze, hide or climb.
Although animals are free to move in and out of this
contained environment, the rich volcanic soil, lush
forests and spring source lakes on the crater floor tend
to incline both grazers and predators to remain
throughout the year.
Later Ascend back to the top of the crater for Dinner
and overnight at Kudu Lodge.
