In the early morning after breakfast, you will meet your private safari guide, who will also be your driver. You will be given a brief overview of your trip and all the important details to keep in mind, as well as the expectations you can have for this adventure. Lake Manyara National Park is one of the smaller national parks in Tanzania, but it still offers beautiful landscapes and is home to an attractive number of wildlife. The lake itself is an alkaline lake and reaches a maximum depth of 3.7 m. This park is a real highlight for bird lovers, as over 400 species of birds live here. Other residents of the park include elephants, buffalo, hippos, baboons, waterbuck, impalas, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests. The park has large numbers of leopards, but sightings are rare due to the thick vegetation. With a bit of luck, you can take a look at the famous "tree lions" that climb trees to spend the day lazing there. In the afternoon we will be driven our accommodation in Karatu.

The caldera has a diameter of up to 19 km and an area of 264 km². Its heavily forested edge rises 610 meters above the bottom of the caldera at a height of up to 2,286 meters. The Ngorongoro Crater and the surrounding highlands together form one of the most beautiful regions in Africa. The volcanic crater forms a breathtaking backdrop to some of the most fertile and richest pastures in Africa. The bottom surface of the caldera consists mainly of open grassland. It is home to a wide variety of animals including elephants, black rhinos, leopards, buffalo, zebras, warthogs, wildebeests, Grant and Thomson's gazelles, and the densest lion population in the world. In the late afternoon we will drive back to our hotel and have dinner there.
After breakfast you will be driven to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is a bit off the main safari route and is a beautiful, quiet park in northern Tanzania, which extends over an area of approx. 2,600 km². It is famous for its elephant hers, bird watching and pristine safari atmosphere. With the exception of the endangered black rhinoceros, Tarangire National Park is home to all of Tanzania's major animals - from the tiny dik-dik to the towering African elephants and giraffes that attract visitors from all over the world. In addition to these popular animal species, the park is home to three endangered animals that cannot be found anywhere else in the country: the fringed oryx with its graceful horns, the towering greater kudu and the tiny Ashy starling. In the afternoon you will be driven to Arusha where your safari adventure with geoDiscovery Tours ends. On request, we will be happy to book the the last overnight of your trip.
