Lodge

At Manyara's Secret you have a privileged position next to the eastern shore of Lake Manyara – no other places in the area have a location anything like it. Whether you're in one of the many swimming pools (some of which are attached to the private villas) or sipping a cocktail on the public terrace, there's so much to enjoy here. The designer villas are super-stylish and the food here is first-class.

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater

Your first sight of Ngorongoro Crater is likely not one you’ll easily forget. As seen from the crater rim, this natural bowl, both vast and intimate, is one of Africa’s most beautiful natural features, stretching 19 green kilometers (12 miles) from one side to the other. Down in the crater itself, you’ll explore an astonishingly rich, self-contained ecosystem that is protected by high crater walls. Here, lions and hyenas hunt wildebeest and Grant’s gazelle within sight of elephants and black rhinos. Your day spent here will reveal a surprising variety of habitats, from the Lereal Forest and salty Lake Magadi to the plains that rise and fall gently all across the valley floor.
