Lake Manyara National Park – Flamingos and Lions

Keep your camera ready for the unique tree-climbing lions that are often spotted lounging on branches. Explore the diverse habitats of the park, from dense forests to open savannahs. Picnic amidst nature and let the park’s serenity sink in before returning to your lodge.

You'll start the day with breakfast, followed by a three-hour drive to Serengeti National Park. Your safari guide will gladly share his knowledge and intriguing stories about his country. You'll also have the chance to enjoy a game drive along the way. Upon reaching the heart of the Serengeti, you'll head to the camp for a hot lunch. After a short break, you'll set out for an afternoon game drive.

You'll spend more time exploring the central part of the Serengeti, looking for large cats such as African wild dogs, caracals, lions, and cheetahs. This area is home to a variety of grazers like wildebeest, zebra, and impala, which in turn attract more predators. During a game drive, you may witness predator-prey interactions.

If you don't see large cats, predators, or their behaviors on your first day, your second day will be worthwhile as you venture into the vast Serengeti grasslands in search of more animals, making your wildlife dreams come true.

Embark on a journey to Serengeti National Park, an unparalleled safari destination. Marvel at the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration (seasonal), a natural phenomenon where thousands of animals move in unison. Enjoy two full days of game drives, encountering lions, leopards, cheetahs, and more, set against the vastness of the Serengeti plains.
