He has a very diverse animal world, not least because of its size, which corresponds to approximately Luxembourg.
The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the north of Tanzania but is also home to many other wild animals. With some luck, you can spot lions, cheetahs or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially the huge baobab trees, which are located close together in the northeastern sector of the park, are particularly impressive
Hotel: Serena Hotel Manyara
After breakfast, we will start the game drive along with your guide to Lake Manyara National Park in the East African Rift Valley. The journey takes about 3 hours. The park is dominated by a lake of the same name, which attracts large colonies of water birds. Particularly impressive are the pink-coloured flamingos, but there are also many other bird species such as cormorants, pelicans and storks.
A total of about 400 different bird species live in the park. The park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, which are usually found in the central and open part of the park. During the safari, you will also see elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos and many other animal species. In the late afternoon, you leave the national park and return to your hotel.

The day will start with a drive up the steep slopes of the East African Rift Valley to the Ngorongoro Crater, you will pick up lunch boxes and mineral water with you from the hotel. Afterwards, it continues on rough roads about 600 meters downwards into the crater. The crater has a diameter of 17-21 kilometres and is the home of a great animal kingdom. Nearly all the biodiversity of the East African savannah is gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater.
Depending on the season, 15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathered here, more than two-thirds are buffaloes, gnus, zebras and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why the crater contains the largest density of predators in Africa. Besides other predators, more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The chances of watching the "Big Five" lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours
are particularly good. After lunch, we drive up and out of the steep crater walls and then head to Serengeti National Park

He is the heart of a vast ecosystem, whose species-rich animal world is unique in the world. Together with the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the Serengeti National Park is one of the largest natural migration systems for wild animals.
Annually between the three mentioned conservation areas migrate over 1.4 million gnus, almost 300,000 Thomson's gazelles, about 200,000 zebras and several thousand topis with the rainy seasons to the areas with the greener and lush meadows. With about 3 million larger mammals, the Serengeti is the national park with the richest wildlife worldwide. Around two-thirds make up the above-mentioned animal species, furthermore, the park is the home to many other animal species, such as giraffes, buffalo, hyena, elephants and crocodiles.
Particularly large is the population of feline predators, about 3000 lions, a good 300 cheetahs and an estimated 400-700 leopards have their hunting ground here
