After breakfast, we load up our 4x4 safari vehicles, and head off for our first day in the bush. Lake Manyara National Park is very different from the other parks with its diversity of habitats. It is home to the unusual tree-climbing lions and the elusive forest primate, the blue monkey, among many other creatures. The Lake supports a large array of bird life, such as yellow-billed storks, white-necked cormorants, pelicans, and Egyptian geese. We overnight at a Luxury Camp or Safari Lodge, on the edge of the scarp overlooking the Rift Valley.

The awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater is a 110 square-mile volcanic caldera, which collapsed two million years ago. It is encircled by 2000-ft. sheer walls. We drive down the narrow track to the crater floor, now a lush verdant paradise. The crater swarms with 30,000 head of wild game, stalked by great prides of lion, jackal, hyena and leopard. Ngorongoro is one of the few places left on earth where you can see the almost extinct black rhinos in their natural habitat. We overnight at a Safari Lodge, or in our own Luxury Camp.

We head out for our last game drive down in the crater. Around lunchtime, we start heading back to Arusha, where you will be able to shop for some souvenirs. We'll pick up your stored climbing gear in Arusha then set you up with a dayroom to freshen up before your night flight back home.

After dinner you will transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport, to get you on your flight back home.
