Upon arrival, your afternoon game drive offers your first real taste of the region’s abundant wildlife.

With your experienced guide leading the way, you’ll track animals across the landscape—from herds of grazing antelope to stealthy predators on the move. Depending on the time of year, you may even witness the Great Migration. Lunch is enjoyed in a shaded picnic spot deep in the bush, and your day ends with a sunset game drive before returning to camp for a relaxing evening.

After an early breakfast, you’ll descend into the crater floor, where a four-hour game drive offers the chance to see elephants, hippos, buffalo, hyenas, and if you’re lucky, the elusive black rhino. The crater is also known for its dramatic scenery and dense populations of animals. After the drive, you’ll travel to Lake Manyara for a peaceful evening at a lodge overlooking the Great Rift Valley.
