It is almost 20 km wide, approximately 600 m deep and is known for its large variety of wildlife. In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelles, reedbucks and more than 500 bird species. After lunch, you will head towards the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, such as impalas, buffalo, crocodiles and hippos. It is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. The animals' trek is determined by the rainfall and it varies from year to year. Apart from the migrating herds, you may see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs and lions. At roughly 2:00 pm you will head back towards Karatu, arriving in time for dinner.

DAY 05 | Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

After breakfast, you will drive to your final destination on this epic safari, Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120 km west of Arusha. The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and with some luck lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs.
