Overview
A four-day loop that adds one of the northern circuit's most underrated parks to the classic Tarangire-Ngorongoro route: Lake Manyara, covered here twice — once by day and once after dark, when spotlights pick out genets, civets, bush babies and the occasional leopard on the move.
Highlights
A full game drive through Tarangire National Park among giant baobabs and large elephant herds
A day game drive across Lake Manyara's plains, with a picnic lunch at a scenic spot
A night game drive through Lake Manyara — a genuinely different way to experience the park
A full day inside the Ngorongoro Crater
