to see - elephants, hippos, zebras, impalas, buffalos,
baboons, plains animals as well as huge variety of birdlife,
both resident and migratory.
At
certain times of the year, Lake Manyara is home to thousands
of flamingos (attracted by the Lake itself), which form
a shimmering pink zone around the lake shore. Other birds
found here include ostriches, egrets, herons, pelicans

About
Ngorongoro
Eight
Wonder\": NEARLY two million years ago, Ngorongoro
Peak towered
almost as high as Kilimanjaro. Both these Mountains formed
the highest peaks in Africa at that time. The Ngorongoro
Volcanic peak collapsed beneath the volcano to form a
caldera, the largest unbroken and unflooded in the world
today. Although a geological feature formed by the withdrawal
of molten in this manner is correctly called a caldera,
many people are traditionally used to the term Crater
and hence Ngorongoro Caldera is described as crater in
all the records available. Ngorongoro Crater is one of
the few natural places in East Africa where one can guarantee
sightings of the rare black rhino in their natural setting.
Visitors to Ngorongoro can enjoy walking around the area.
Long walking safaris and short hikes are both adventurous
and rewarding. Within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area
are ore about the cultures and traditions of the Maasai,
a pastoral tribe allowed to herd their cattle within the
protected area.
Day
6: Ngorongoro Crater:
After breakfast drive to Ngororngoro Conservation Area
with your lunch box, descend into the crater floor for
full day game viewing. The crater is rich in wildlife
and the day will be filled with sights and sounds of the
wild echoing within the crater walls.
Your
packed lunch will be served on the crater floor at the
picnic site near Lerai forest or hippo pool. Many crater
visitors want to see rare species, -the Black rhinoceros-,
this is the right time, because during the dry season
is very hard to see them as they are afraid of sun burn.
Late afternoon ascend the crater and then drive to Arusha
for your dinner and overnight
Meals:
Full Board
Accommodation: Meru Simba Lodge.
Day
7: Arusha National Park - back home:
In the morning drive to Arusha national park for game
