2 Days Midrange Safari
Lake Manyara Np / Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro National Park Entirely deserving of its UNESCO world heritage site status, this mid-size park contains three volcanic craters, forests, gorges, bush land & savannah. The famous Ngorongoro crater, 300 million years old, 20km in diameter and 600m deep, is the world's largest caldera. The area boasts the oldest known hominid footprints from 3.6 million years ago, and now sets a precedent for how humans and wildlife can coexist harmoniously. The wildlife in this area is stunning, diverse and abundant, giving a great chance of spotting "the big 5".
A Lake Manyara Safari is often overlooked. However, we recommend you consider this enchanting and interesting park. Lake Manyara is a long thin park that consists mostly of water, with the Great Rift Valley Escarpment rising sharply and dramatically along the western side.
Lake Manyara is well known for its tree climbing lions but don't be surprised if they avoid you; they are elusive and this is probably not the best safari destination for viewing big cats. On a positive note Lake Manyara is a great safari spot for bird viewing and also has a healthy population of ungulates such as buffalo and wildebeest.
