Great Migration Safari

Lake Manyara

Day 2: On safari in Lake Manyara After breakfast you will be driven to Lake Manyara National Park located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley. The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara, which covers 230 square kms, attracts pink flamingos and other birdlife. You’ll also see resident hippo pods at the lake. The park is known for its tree-climbing lions, plus you may be lucky enough to spot leopards and hyenas. You can also expect to see are large herds of elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, warthog and impala. There’s also a huge primate population including common monkey, vervet monkey and baboons. You’ll leave Lake Manyara just before sunset and head to your lodge for dinner. Overnight: Lake Manyara Meals: (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Masai Mara | Serengeti

Day 4:  On safari in the Serengeti Every year, over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate north from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The herds must brave the perilous Mara River which runs through the Masai Mara Game Reserve on the Kenyan side and the Serengeti National Park on the Tanzanian side. They face treacherous water currents and dangerous predators as they cross the river in search of greener pastures. With crocodiles lurking in the muddy waters and lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas patrolling the river banks, this is a particularly dangerous time to be a wildebeest or a zebra! If you're visiting the Serengeti at the right time you’ll see herds of wildebeest and zebra stretching to the horizon and you may be lucky enough to see the dramatic river crossings. Our Fair Travel Consultants have in-depth experience of the migration and they will plan your holiday to ensure that you’re at the right place at the right time.

Arusha | Ngorongoro Crater

Day 6: Crater Descent & Return to Arusha The Ngorongoro Crater is a unique natural phenomenon and it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking wildlife safari sites in the world with a backdrop of the 600m/1968ft high crater wall, and it offers incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. A visit to the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience of a lifetime!  You can expect to see an abundance of wildlife, including buffalo, warthog, wildebeest, zebra, hippo and elephants. There’s also a huge population of predators - lion, hyena, jackal, cheetah and leopard. The resident population of black rhino is a real treat, as they’re very difficult to spot elsewhere in Tanzania. In the late afternoon you’ll return to your lodge in Arusha.
