Proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area after breakfast at the accommodation. The renowned Ngorongoro Crater, dubbed the eighth wonder of the world, is around 600 meters away. One method to explore one of Africa's wildlife-rich regions is to drive around the crater. If you want to view all five of the big five—lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo—in one day, this is one of the best spots on the planet. Leopards, however, are more difficult to identify. There are numerous bird species at the bottom of the pit, along with gazelles, zebras, hyenas, and hippos.

You have found the ideal picnic area near the Hippo Pool, where you can unwind, have lunch, take pictures, and take in the scenery. You have to climb a crater to get to Karatu for an overnight at Marera Valley lodge

After breakfast, you will depart for Lake Manyara National Park and enjoy a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley. Upon arrival, you will begin your game drive, exploring the park’s diverse landscapes, including groundwater forests, open savannah, and lakeshore. Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, large elephant herds, flamingos, hippos, giraffes, zebras, and various baboon troops, offering excellent wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.

Around midday, you will stop at a designated picnic site inside the park for a packed lunch, where you can relax and enjoy views of the lake and surrounding nature. After lunch, continue with an afternoon game drive as you slowly exit the park.

Later in the afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha and be dropped off at your preferred location—hotel, airport, or residence—marking the end of your safari day.
