NORTHERN TANZANIA DESTINATIONS:

Lake Manyara National Park lies 130 kilometers outside of Arusha town and encompasses Lake Manyara and its surroundings. Visit the park's five different vegetation zones including groundwater forest, acacia woodland, open areas of short grass, swamps, and the lake's alkaline flats. You'll encounter more than 350 species of birds and view baboon, warthog, giraffe, hippopotamus, elephant and buffalo. If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of Manyara's famous tree-climbing lions.

Often called the eighth wonder of the world, Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world, and is one of the only places in Africa you can view every member of the "big five" (rhinoceros, lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant and buffalo) on a single game drive. Unique to Ngorongoro, indigenous tribes are permitted to live in the conservation area and local Maasai graze their livestock on the crater floor in harmony with nearby herds of buffalo and wildebeest.
