Day 1: Arusha/Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park
Pick up at 8:30 AM from your Hotel in Arusha and depart for Lake Manyara National Park with picnic lunch for a full-day game drive. As you enter the National Park, lush forests of Acacia and Mahogany trees begin to set the mood for what is waiting ahead. The game drive will last until the evening with a small break for a picnic lunch. During the game drive, watch out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. Another spectacle of the Lake Manyara National Park is the tree climbing lions; however, spotting them is a game of luck. During the right season, you can see the shoreline turn pink with the millions of flamingos that flock there. After the game drive, you will head back to your camp/lodge, where a delicious dinner awaits you.

After the picnic lunch at the beautiful hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater. After a 2-hour drive to your accommodation in Karatu, the day will come to a close.

Tanzania’s third largest National Park is known for its majestic Baobab trees that dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River is the centerpiece of this Park, which is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Here, you may see lions, leopards, cheetahs, lesser kudus, buffalo, oryx, elands, giraffes, and zebras. By midafternoon, you will branch out and head towards Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location by about 6PM in the evening.

Others tips
- Bring soft luggage such as a duffel bag, hiking pack or sports bag. These are ideal for packing into a safari vehicle. Hard suitcases can often be difficult to fit into the vehicles.
- Bring a backpack to carry all of your important items including travel documents, money, camera, medication etc. You should keep this backpack with you at all times.
- Keep luxury items such as hair dryers/ straighteners, expensive jewellery, make up and bulky toiletries to an absolute minimum. If in doubt, leave them out.
- If you plan to bring cash, divide it into different areas of your carry-on luggage, wallet and money belt just in case something happens to one of those carry items.
- Leave some space in your luggage for the all-important souvenirs that you will probably buy. There are places where you can send packages home via DHL etc, however this can sometimes be an expensive option.
