This drive across the Ardai Plains and via the scenic areas of Karatu and the village of “Mto wa Mbu” leads you up the Western Wall of the Rift Valley and onto Ngorongoro. Proceed to your lodge for lunch, afternoon, and evening at leisure.
Accommodation: Acacia Farm Lodge
Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner
After breakfast, board your vehicle and descend the down walls of the world’s largest caldera with packed lunch for a half day of game and sightseeing on the crater floor.
This area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the crater has global importance for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of globally threatened species, the density of wildlife inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, and other animals into the northern plains.
Extensive archaeological research has also yielded a long sequence of evidence of human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid footprints dating back 3.6 million years. Here you have a chance to spot Lions, Elephants, Buffalos, Hippos, Cheetahs, Hyenas, and several antelope and bird species. Ascend to your lodge in the early afternoon for dinner and an overnight stay.

The most famous spectacle is the tree-climbing lions, which are occasionally seen along
branches of Acacia trees. Lake Manyara National Park is also known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake.
During the wet season, they inhabit the edges of the lake in flocks of thousands but they are not so present during the dry season. More than 400 species of birds inhabit the park and many remain throughout the year.
