9 Days Tanzania Honeymoon Safari & Zanzibar

We depart from your lodge in Arusha and proceed to Lake Manyara National Park. Although small in size, this park is one of the most diverse reserves in the country. Lake Manyara covers two-thirds of the park. At the backdrop is the wall of the Great Rift Valley, before which lies the groundwater forest, areas of open grassland near the lake foreshore, and the Soda Lake. We enjoy a picnic lunch in this area, which consists of open grassy areas, hot springs, dense woodlands, and steep mountainsides. Lake Manyara National Park is a birding paradise that has more than 350 species of bird. The park is also famed for its unique and elusive tree-climbing lions.

We will be taking an interesting drive across the Great Rift Valley and up its amazing escarpments with awe-inspiring views below and once we arrive at the Loduare Gate we will have a brief stop for registration then another stop at the rim of the crater for amazing views over the Crater floor and a short session of photo taking. We will then descend into the Crater for a full day of fame drives at the Crater floor. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera and with its 600-meter walls acting as a natural barrier for animals; you expect to see very many animals at very close range. The Crater floor boasts of the highest concentration of animals per area and you expect to see many animals including the Big Five ( elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos) with just a little luck.

We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide-open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top, we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions, and if you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of the interesting birdlife, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night.
