Day 1 - Arrival in Arusha
Upon your arrival at either Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK), a warm welcome awaits from the Ishi Africa Safaris representative. They will then swiftly transport you to your Arusha accommodations, where you will spend the night resting comfortably in preparation for your thrilling safari adventure the following day.
Day 2 - Lake Manyara National Park
After having breakfast early in the morning, we will set off to Lake Manyara National Park. This park is a beautiful and untouched haven renowned for its copious number of birds and lions that climb trees. The park's border is formed by the western edge of the Rift Valley, while the shallow and alkaline Lake Manyara occupies the eastern side. The lake occupies a vast section of the park and floods and dries with the seasons. During the rainy season, it is home to thousands of flamingos. The name Manyara originates from the word 'emanyara' in the Maasai language. This popular plant is used to construct the protective fence around a family homestead (boma). The park's vegetation is varied, ranging from savannah to evergreen forests. While exploring the park, you may spot giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, elephants, and, if lucky, lions lounging in trees.
Day 3 - Ngorongoro Crater
After enjoying breakfast, we will set off toward the Ngorongoro crater. The sight of Ngorongoro Crater is breathtaking; it seems like a world that has been left behind. The steep volcanic walls contain a pristine wilderness, including sweeping savannahs, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater had formed millions of years ago. A massive volcano erupted and imploded inwards. This location is famous for its geological wonders and as a natural reserve home to some of the densest large mammal populations in Africa. The drive down into the Crater is an adventure in itself, and once you reach the Crater floor, you will find yourself surrounded by many wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and over 500 bird species. The Crater is the perfect place to spot the endangered black rhino, sometimes seen in the open grasslands.
