Tour Plan

Day 1 Visit Lake Manyara National Park
Meet your expert tour guide and driver at your Arusha hotel after breakfast at 0800 hours. They will brief you about the safari before driving you to Lake Manyara National Park.
It will take approximately 2 and a half hours to approximately cover 130 kilometers to drive from Arusha to Lake Manyara.
We reach the park and go on a game drive about 1100 hours. From the soda lake in the Rift Valley to thick forests and rugged mountain slopes, Lake Manyara National Park has it all.
A wide variety of animals, including elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, baboons, gazelles, and lions that can climb trees, call this park home.
At 1300 hours, we head to one of the picnic spots to savor our packed lunches. Go ahead and take another game drive later.
Most people see flamingos, but you can also see pelicans, Egyptian geese, cormorants, storks, eagles, swifts, swallows, vultures, and a plethora of other birds.
Dinner and overnight at the lodge Serena Safari Lodge.
Day 2 Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Game Drive, and drive to Arusha
Head to Ngorongoro Crater after breakfast. Just 80 kilometers (around 2 hours) separate you from your destination. Not only is the crater one of the world's largest intact volcanic calderas, but it is also home to a permanent population of around 30,000 animals, making it a unique location in Africa for game viewing.
Big grazing species that rely on the crater's vast grasslands, including gazelles, zebras, buffalo, and wildebeest.
The crater is home to hyenas, leopards, and black-maned lions. Only male elephants were discovered. Some black rhinos have sought sanctuary in the Fever Tree woods, and the area is also home to monkeys, waterbuck, and bushbuck.
Soda lakes are popular hunting grounds for predators and a haven for aquatic birds like flamingos. Ngorongoro Crater has been compared to Eden due to its breathtaking beauty. Take a whole day of game driving on the floor of the crater.
1300 Hours: After lunch, head out to the crater rim for a game drive where you will see a number of animals. From there, you will embark on your journey back to Arusha or drop off to your hotel.

Gorilla Trekking FAQ
When is the best time to go?
The dry seasons (June to August and December to February) are most popular because the trails are less muddy and hiking conditions are more comfortable. That said, gorilla trekking happens year-round, and the wet seasons offer their own advantages like fewer crowds, lush green landscapes, and sometimes lower accommodation rates.
What's included in your gorilla trekking package?
Gorilla Hub Tours complete packages include your gorilla permit, professional guide, park entrance fees, transportation to/from the trailhead, and pre-trek briefing. Most packages also include accommodation, meals, airport transfers, and additional activities. We’ll send you a detailed itinerary showing exactly what’s covered!
How much should I budget?
Here’s what you’re looking at: Uganda permits cost $700 per person, Rwanda permits are $1,500. Our complete 3-day packages start from $1,200 per person in Uganda and $2,200 in Rwanda, including accommodation and meals. Longer itineraries with multiple treks or additional activities range from $1,800-$4,500 per person depending on your preferences.
Can I book just the permit or do I need a full package?
While you can buy permits independently, we strongly recommend our packages! We handle all the logistics – permit procurement, accommodation bookings, transportation, and local expertise. Plus, we often secure better rates than booking everything separately. Solo permit purchases risk availability issues and much higher individual costs.
How far in advance should I book?
Book NOW
if possible! Permits sell out 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak seasons (June-August, December-February).
We secure permits immediately upon booking confirmation, so the sooner you book, the better your chances of getting your preferred dates. Don’t risk disappointment – availability disappears fast!
Do you offer group discounts?
Absolutely! Groups of 4+ people receive special pricing, and we can arrange private group experiences. Family groups, friends traveling together, and corporate retreats all qualify for discounts. Contact us for a customized group quote – the more people, the better the per-person rate!
Can I add extra days or activities?
We accept all major credit cards, bank transfers, and PayPal. A deposit (usually 30-50%) secures your booking and permits, with the balance due closer to travel. We also offer payment plans for larger bookings – just ask! All payments are secured and protected.
What payment methods do you accept?
Absolutely! Groups of 4+ people receive special pricing, and we can arrange private group experiences. Family groups, friends traveling together, and corporate retreats all qualify for discounts. Contact us for a customized group quote – the more people, the better the per-person rate!Yes! Most travelers combine gorilla trekking with chimpanzee tracking, cultural visits, volcano hiking, or traditional safaris. We offer flexible itineraries – extend your stay, add wildlife parks, or include both Uganda and Rwanda in one trip. Tell us your interests and we’ll create the perfect adventure!
How quickly can I get confirmation?
Book online and get instant confirmation! We’ll send your booking confirmation within 24 hours, including permit details, accommodation arrangements, and your detailed itinerary. For last-minute bookings (less than 60 days), contact us directly for real-time availability checking.
