After an early start you will make your way to the cooler regions of the  Ngorongoro highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater is almost 600 m deep,  approximately 20 km wide and the massive caldera is home to an amazing  variety of animals. After a picnic lunch in the crater and some more  game viewing, you will leave the crater in the afternoon and travel to  Karatu, where you will overnight at your Ngorongoro accommodation. 

 After breakfast, you will leave the highlands and continue to Lake  Manyara National Park, one of the smallest but most diverse parks in  Tanzania. The shallow and alkaline Lake Manyara covers a large area of  the park and it is the seasonal home to thousands of flamingos – an  awesome (pink) sight. However more than 500 other bird species are also  found here as well as some wonderful mammals. Troops of monkeys live in  the forests, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests on the grassy  plains and elephants and lions in the acacia woodlands. After an  intensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the park to  arrive in Arusha by the late afternoon.
