where some of the World’s first stone-age fossils were discovered. Day 1 – Overnight flight to Arusha, Tanzania. Day 2 – This morning you will arrive in Arusha which lies at the base of Mt. Meru, not far from the border with Kenya. It is well known as an African congress centre. The city is also an excellent base for visiting many of the National Parks and lakes. Day 3 – To get to the Ngorongoro Conversation Area you will cross the impressive Great Rift Valley passing through the lands of the Masai to the Ngorongoro crater which is one of the finest places in Tanzania for watching game. It's a must see and it should be on the top of your priority list. In fact, it's not really a crater but a collapsed volcano. The bottom is flat, almost treeless and filled with some small creeks and lakes. The crater is loaded with game and many many birds. You’ll sleepover on the rim of crater. Day 4 – On route to the famous Serengeti National Park you stop at Olduvai archaeological site. Serengeti is the best known game park of Tanzania and probably also in the world. In the park you find almost all the animals you want to have in your digital camera in a perfect surrounding, there are literally millions of hoofed animals. They're constantly on the move in search of grassland and are watched and preyed upon by a varied parade of predators. You’ll sleep the night at a campsite in the Park surrounded by the sounds of the wildlife. Day 5 – Serengeti National Park Game drive. This takes place before breakfast to make the most of the beasts’ early start. After your own breakfast the day will be spent searching for game, in the evening you head towards another part of the park to camp. Day 6 – Lake Natron is a soda lake at the base of an active volcano, the area around Lake Natron is somewhat desolate and almost lunar like. Walks around the lake and to the streams and waterfalls along the nearby escarpment make for a fantastic adventure off the beaten track, and the place to watch flamingos. Day 7 - A free day to take it easy and enjoy your surroundings at Lake Natron, try a therapeutic mud bath, positively relaxing. If you feel a little more energetic your can go horse riding or river tubing. Day 8 – Your final Safari experience will take place in Lake Manyara which offers varied landscapes.
