On Day 2 of your three-day safari from Zanzibar, after breakfast, you'll set out for Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its diverse wildlife and stunning scenery. As you journey through the lush landscapes, you'll be greeted by the beautiful expanse of the Great Rift Valley escarpment and the shimmering lake that gives the park its name.

After an early breakfast, you'll descend over 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater to explore its rich wildlife. This unique ecosystem, sustained by a year-round water supply, is home to diverse animals, including wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, elands, warthogs, hippos, and large African elephants.
The crater is also known for its impressive predator population, featuring lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, which can be challenging to spot. You'll visit Lake Magadi, a large shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, where you can often see vibrant flamingos and various water birds.
In the late afternoon, you'll transfer to Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay, or you can choose a drop-off at the airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.
