After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara Manyara National Park via Mto-wa Mbu Village with a picnic lunch for the morning day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, which packs a lot of diversity into a small area, is the only park in the area that is green all year round. The park also offers a spectacular view of the Great Rift Valley, and the fig forest here is a good place to see monkeys and some of the 350 species of birds that have been recorded here. With luck, you may spot the tree-climbing lions for which the park is famous.
You will also do the Treetop Walkway. This 370m airwalk starts with a short boardwalk that gradually rises from ground level up through the forest’s canopy. You walk over a series of suspension bridges with thick netting on the sides and reach a height of 18m off the ground. Each of the bridges ends on a viewing deck situated around tree trunks.
These treetop platforms are perfect places to stop and enjoy life in the canopy amongst butterflies, monkeys, and birds. Evening drive to Mto wa Mbu Village for a cultural tourism program. Here you will have a chance to experience the real-life of local tribes which live in this area by visiting their banana and rice plantations, Primary schools, Orphanage, Local Market, Carvings, and families.

Some 9 meters high and 100 meters long in its curve. This is an impressive and fascinating experience that occurs throughout the year and something to see if you have a chance to visit the Ngorongoro. You proceed to central Serengeti. You will have an evening game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti.

This river gushes north of Serengeti from Kenya’s adjacent Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Watching the frantic herds of the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River can be spectacular; there are often scenes of great panic and confusion. It’s common to see herds cross the Mara River north one day and then back south a few days later.

The strangely beautiful landscape is the attraction in this area. After a strenuous walk up the stream, we reach the river’s source in the cascading waterfalls that gush out of the mountains. It is an excellent swim in the river and under the waterfalls for a nice cool-down from the hot sun.
There may be baboons or other wildlife in the gorge. You will have an early dinner and go to sleep. At midnight we will wake up and transfer to the mountain where you will ascend Ol Doinyo Lengai, 2878m (9650ft), in the heart of Maasai country and locally regarded as a sacred mountain.
