Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park 

After having breakfast, you will embark on a journey to Lake Manyara, and you will be provided with lunch boxes from Janibichi Adventures Hostel for a game drive in Lake Manyara. Enjoy the opportunity to observe the wildlife and natural beauty of this region.

The Manyara Region derives its name from Lake Manyara, one of the major lakes formed during ancient times by the Great Rift Valley. This region is unique in Tanzania as it is bisected into two parts by the Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara is a vital water source for wildlife, playing a crucial role in the ecosystems of the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Tarangire National Park. It is also the largest breeding ground for tens of thousands of flamingos in the country.

The Lodge is situated in the town of Karatu on the western south slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater at an elevation of 1,400 feet above sea level. The Lodge is surrounded by lush gardens filled with flowers and vegetables. The property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the hills and is in close proximity to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Eyasi, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park.

The Lodge's warm and cozy rooms provide scenic views of the reserve and tropical gardens. Each room has a spacious en-suite bathroom with a WC, shower, washbasins, and luxurious toiletries. The bedrooms open up to a terrace that is equipped with a table and chairs, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Day 2: Serengeti

After enjoying breakfast, you'll embark on a journey to the renowned Serengeti National Park, equipped with lunch boxes for a full day of thrilling game drives.

The Serengeti National Park, established in 1952, is one of Tanzania's most iconic wildlife destinations. It is home to the most incredible wildlife spectacle on Earth – the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra. Apart from this remarkable event, the park hosts a diverse range of wildlife, including resident populations of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and an abundance of bird species. Visitors have the opportunity to choose from various accommodations, ranging from luxurious lodges to mobile camps. The park covers a vast expanse, spanning 5,700 square miles (14,763 square kilometers), making it larger than the entire state of Connecticut, and it typically has only a few hundred vehicles traversing its magnificent landscapes.

Embalakai Camp is situated in a breathtaking location along the Nyabogati River, offering guests a complete immersion in nature. The camp provides a splendid setting for observing a wide variety of Serengeti birds and wildlife amidst acacia trees, and it also allows guests to witness the beautiful sunsets beyond the distant hills.

The camp boasts 13 spacious tents, which can be configured for single, double, triple, or family occupancy. For group bookings, Embalakai Camp can accommodate up to 30 persons. Additionally, netted bedding is available upon request for babies, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay for all clients.

Day 4: Ngorongoro - Tarangire

Following breakfast, embark on a journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, equipped with lunch boxes provided by the lodge. Your destination is the Ngorongoro Crater, where you'll descend to the crater floor for a half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is an incredible natural wonder, with an abundant and diverse wildlife population waiting to be discovered.

After your rewarding game drive in the crater, it's time to continue your adventure. In the afternoon, you'll drive to Tarangire for your overnight stay. Tarangire National Park is renowned for its large herds of elephants and diverse landscapes, making it an excellent location for wildlife encounters. Enjoy a peaceful night in the heart of this unique wilderness.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is truly a remarkable place, covering 2,286 square kilometers of diverse and breathtaking landscapes. It includes the volcanic region around the Ngorongoro Crater, which boasts the still active volcano of Oldonyo Lengai and the world-famous Olduvai Gorge, a site of significant archaeological discoveries.

The Ngorongoro Crater itself is the jewel of this area, recognized as the largest unbroken caldera in the world. The moment you lay eyes on it, you'll be captivated by its beauty and grandeur. While the crater's floor covers only 100 square miles, it is teeming with approximately 30,000 animals, including a high concentration of predators. This unique and pristine environment offers visitors an opportunity to witness an incredible array of wildlife and a true connection with nature.

The crater supports up to 25,000 large mammals. Grazers dominate, with zebra, wildebeest (accounting for almost half the animals), gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest, and warthog. Giraffes stay away because there is insufficient food at tree level, and topi avoid the area as they compete directly with wildebeest. An interesting feature of the crater's elephants is that they are almost exclusively males. Breeding herds, which consist of large numbers of females and young with a few older males, are probably unable to find sufficient quality food in the crater.

From the elegant wooden central platform where the Lake Burunge Tented Lodge restaurant is located, it's possible to watch the lakeshore for animals that come to drink water. The camp is strategically located in the natural corridor between Manyara and Tarangire, ensuring a spectacle of the migration. The camp is situated 10 minutes from the park entrance known as Sangaiwe.

This camp is the perfect place to relax in comfort after a day of game drives in Tarangire. You can be captivated by the breeze and the colors of the African sunset from your private terrace.

Day 5: Tarangire - Moshi

Tarangire National Park derives its name from the Tarangire River, which rises in the highlands of central Tanzania and winds its way through the game sanctuary. The river irresistibly lures the herds of plains migrants from the parched surrounding area to its shrunken, but permanent, brackish waters during the dry season.

The animals come by thousands from as far north as the shores of Lake Natron, dramatically swelling the resident population with wildebeest, zebra, eland, elephants, hartebeest, buffalo, and fringe-eared Oryx. As the rainless days continue, Tarangire's pools become congested with thirsty migrants, and elephants begin to dig for underground streams in the dry riverbed.
