Your Bishara Cottages guide meets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport upon arrival and transfers you directly to Arusha City. Check in, freshen up, and enjoy a relaxed evening at Iwaanda Lodge before the adventure begins tomorrow.
After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park — Tanzania's elephant capital. The park is renowned for its enormous herds of elephants gathering along the Tarangire River, spectacular baobab trees that dot the landscape, and excellent year-round wildlife viewing.
Enjoy a full day game drive with a picnic lunch box and water provided. As evening approaches, transfer to your comfortable lodge at Mto wa Mbu.
Depart at 8:30 AM after breakfast for Lake Manyara National Park — a compact but spectacular park with an extraordinary variety of habitats packed into a small area: dense groundwater forest, open bush, grassy flood plains, and the famous alkaline lake itself.
Look out for Lake Manyara's iconic tree-climbing lions, vast flocks of pink flamingos wading the shallows, herds of elephant pushing through the forest, hippos wallowing in the pools, and over 400 species of birds. A lunch box and water are provided for the day.
Return to Bishara Cottages Lodge for a relaxed evening and dinner.
Descend into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the natural wonders of Africa. The crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, forming a self-contained ecosystem home to an incredible density of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino, magnificent elephant bulls, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra, enormous lion prides, spotted hyenas, and shimmering flamingos at the soda lake.
Enjoy a full crater game drive with a picnic lunch box before ascending back out.
