Experience an unforgettable 4-day camping safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. This incredible adventure begins at Lake Manyara National Park, where you can observe the famous tree-climbing lions, a stunning array of bird species, and playful hippos. Located just 125 km west of Arusha, Lake Manyara is nestled within the Great Rift Valley, making it a perfect starting point for your safari journey.

From Lake Manyara, you will proceed to explore the vast Serengeti and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, immersing yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife that East Africa has to offer. As you traverse the rugged roads from the Ngorongoro Crater rim to the Serengeti, keep an eye out for the diverse array of animals, birds, and reptiles along the way.

You’ll also have the opportunity to engage with the Maasai culture, as you pass by traditional bomas where you can learn about their way of life, try on traditional garments, and experience their vibrant culture firsthand.
