Trip Itinerary
Your flight will land at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Welcome to Africa!
After disembarking from the aircraft, you will be met by Maono Tours Customer Service Manager who will lead you to clear customs and immigration formalities and proceed to the arrivals lounge. You will be assisted to your transfer vehicle and drive to Melia Ngorongoro Lodge.
After breakfast, you will depart for a full Day Safari Tour on the crater floor of Ngorongoro with packed lunches; the Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact caldera in an exceptional geographical position, forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 square kilometers with sides up to 600m deep, the stalking ground of around 20,000 to 30,000 wild animals at any one time.
The crater floor consists of a number of ecological environments that include grassland, swamps, forests and Lake Makat, a central soda lake filled by the Munge River. All these various habitats attract various wildlife to drink, wallow, graze, hide or climb. Although animals are free to move in and out of this contained environment, the rich volcanic soil, lush forests and spring source lakes on the crater floor tend to incline both grazers and predators to remain here throughout the year. After the tour return to your lodge for overnight.
After breakfast at your camp, you will be transferred back to Lake Manyara Airstrip to catch your scheduled flight to Lamai in Serengeti North. On arrival, you will be met by the camp driver guide and transferred to Ubuntu Migration Camp.
Early Morning and afternoon game drives in the Serengeti National Reserve, the vast grasslands of the renowned Serengeti National Park provide what many consider to be the quintessential African game viewing experience. Meaning ‘endless plains’ in the language of the Maasai, this land of immense open spaces is home to literally millions of large herbivores, as well as the accompanying carnivores. The Serengeti is renowned for having the largest concentration of migratory animals in the world, and is also famous for its large lion population. The Serengeti National Park forms part of a huge conservation area, encompassing the adjacent Ngorongoro Conservation Area, as well as the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
