Description
A 2-day itinerary focusing on Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater
Itinerary
Day 1 Drive to Lake Manyara from Airport / Arusha / Moshi

It is also famed for its tree climbing lions who sleep mid-day among the branches of trees. There are also large many giraffe, elephant, antelope, cheetah, gazelle and even some python. We will bring a picnic lunch that we can enjoy.
In the late afternoon, we head out for our evening’s dinner and overnight rest.
Drive hrs: 3-4 hrs
Meals: picnic lunch and dinner
Day 2 Drive to Lake Eyasi
Very early morning wake up call as we go near Lake Eyasi to follow the Hadzabe tribe on a hunt. This is one of the last true hunter-gatherer tribes left in the world. Using bow and arrow they hunt for anything from mice to giraffe (with poison tipped arrow for large game).
They are experts at foraging for edible roots and gathering wild honey. After the hunt, you can compare your archery skills with theirs and your ability to create fire without matches. Around noon time we depart to make our way to Moshi or Kilimanjaro Airport (We can arrive at the airport by 15:00.)
