ARUSHA TO LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast we descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater, after which we travel back to Moshi/Arusha where we will end our African safari adventure. You will be taken to your hotel, which ends our safari packages services

After the climbers and crew have checked in with the park rangers, we will hike up through the montane forests. This forest path is muddy and overgrown in places and so trekking poles are useful here. After a4 to 5hr. hike you'll arrive at the Machame Camp and a picnic lunch will be served.
Later in the afternoon a small walk to a bit higher altitude is done for acclimatization and after returning to camp in the evening, a hot meal awaits you

Then we climb the non-technical but steep, nearly 900 ft. cliff. From the top of the Barranco Wall we cross a series of hills and valleys until we descend sharply into Karanga valley (4095m) beneath the icefalls of the Heim, Kersten and Decken Glaciers. One steeper climb up leads us to Karanga Camp (3963m).
If you still have enough energy, we will go for a mid-afternoon acclimatization trek up to around 4200m before descending back to camp for the night.
This is a shorter day meant for acclimatization. We will stay overnight at Karanga campsite.

This is your last day upon Mt. Kilimanjaro. After breakfast we continue with a gentle trek that
takes us down through the rainforest to Mweka Gate. It can be wet and muddy so trekking poles
will help. Also shorts and t-shirts will be suitable.
