Day 1: Discovering Lake Manyara National Park

Morning: Arrival and Orientation

Your adventure begins at dawn, with the sun rising over the stunning landscapes of Tanzania. After a hearty breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, our Safari Multiways team will pick you up in a comfortable, well-equipped vehicle, ready for your first day of exploration. As we drive towards Lake Manyara National Park, keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of local wildlife and the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you.

Late Morning: Entering Lake Manyara National Park

Upon arrival at Lake Manyara National Park, you’ll be greeted by the mesmerizing sight of the lake itself, a shimmering expanse of blue that attracts an array of wildlife. Covering an area of approximately 330 square kilometers, Lake Manyara is famous for its diverse ecosystems, including forests, savannahs, and wetlands.

As we enter the park, your knowledgeable guide will introduce you to the incredible flora and fauna that call this area home. With more than 400 species of birds, including the beautiful flamingos that flock to the shores of the lake, birdwatchers will be in paradise.

Afternoon: Wildlife Encounters

As we venture deeper into the park, keep your camera ready to capture the various animals that roam the landscape. You might spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even the famed tree-climbing lions, unique to this region. Our guides have an uncanny ability to locate wildlife, ensuring that you won’t miss out on any of the action.

As the sun reaches its zenith, we’ll take a break for a delicious picnic lunch amidst the beauty of nature. Enjoy a spread of local flavors while surrounded by the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves. After lunch, continue your safari adventure with more game drives, exploring the stunning landscapes and seeking out even more wildlife.

Evening: Sunset at Lake Manyara

As the day winds down, we’ll find the perfect spot to watch the sunset over Lake Manyara, painting the sky with hues of orange, pink, and purple. It’s a moment of pure magic that will etch itself into your memory forever. After enjoying this breathtaking view, we’ll head to your accommodation for the night.

Night: Relaxation Under the Stars

Your accommodation for the night will be a cozy lodge or tented camp, selected by Safari Multiways to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. After a delightful dinner, take a moment to gaze at the star-studded sky, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand. This is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible day you’ve had and to share stories with fellow travelers.

Day 2: The Wonders of Ngorongoro Crater

Early Morning: Journey to Ngorongoro Crater

After a hearty breakfast at your lodge, we’ll set off early to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. The drive takes approximately 2 hours, during which you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and the promise of adventure ahead.

Mid-Morning: Descending into the Crater

As we arrive at the crater rim, prepare for a truly awe-inspiring view of this natural amphitheater. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, making it one of the best places in Tanzania to see animals in their natural habitat. The descent into the crater is steep but unveils a world of wonders.

Wildlife Safari in the Crater

Once we reach the crater floor, immerse yourself in an unforgettable safari experience. With an abundance of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros), you’ll have the chance to witness these magnificent creatures up close.

Your Safari Multiways guide will provide fascinating insights about the wildlife, ensuring you learn about their behaviors and habitats. From watching lions lounging in the grass to elephants bathing in mud pools, every moment is a photographer’s dream and a nature lover’s delight.

Afternoon: Picnic Lunch in the Crater

As the sun rises higher in the sky, we’ll stop for a scenic picnic lunch in the heart of the crater. Relish delicious local dishes while surrounded by the beauty of nature, with animals grazing nearby. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that connects you to the land and its inhabitants.

More Safari Adventures

After lunch, the adventure continues! We’ll drive through the diverse landscapes of the crater, giving you more opportunities to spot wildlife. Whether it’s a pride of lions resting in the shade or a group of wildebeests roaming across the plains, every moment spent in this natural wonder is special.

Evening: Ascending the Crater and Return

As the day comes to a close, we’ll ascend from the crater, taking one last look at the incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes. Our journey back to Arusha will be filled with chats about the unforgettable experiences shared over the last two days.
