Your five days’ trip will take you through a lot of experiences in the wild rich parts of Tanzania. The journey will introduce you to unspoiled nature of real Africa, see wild animals, as well as incredible landscapes. The journey begins with Lake Manyara national park which is a protected area in Tanzania’s Arusha and Manyara Regions about 126km from Arusha, situated between Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley. It offers a wilderness experience in diverse habitats, from its Rift Valley soda lake to dense woodlands and the steep mountainsides. The place is so famous for the tree climbing lions and plenty of bird species. You will then have a chance to visit Serengeti National Park which is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world for its natural beauty in northern Tanzania, known for its massive annual migration of wildebeests and zebras. The mammals keep wandering for pasture moving north from their breeding grounds in the grassy southern plains.
