After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The game in this petite park is plentiful, and the magnificent bird watching will make a devotee out of even the most reluctant.
It is also one of the very few places in Africa to see tree-climbing lions, which we may declare our day's quest, being so thoroughly sated with the big herds of preceding parks. Manyara's great shock of pink flamingoes will also delight. We enjoy a Hot lunch at Lake Manyara Serena Lodge then proceed to the park for game viewing.

After breakfast, we're off on the next leg of our journey to Ngorongoro, the eighth wonder of the natural world. Along the way, we drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area's region created to accommodate the Masai people's grazing needs and a unique test of the idea that humans leading a pastoral lifestyle can coexist with wildlife.
We arrive on the rim of the crater and descend 2,000 feet into the giant caldera of this extinct volcano. This magnificent natural amphitheater contains the largest concentration of animals in all of Africa. Pride of lion, black rhino, and elephant share this land with the legendary Masai tribesmen.
Because the grasses are short, the game is easily spotted and can be approached quite closely. We spend a splendid morning on the crater floor observing wildlife in this ageless World Heritage Site. After lunch at the hippo picnic site, we continue on a game drive en-route as we ascend the crater driving back to Arusha.
