In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe them up close, something that should not be missed.

Day 4
Manyara to Lake Eyasi
Manyara to Lake Eyasi
Lake Eyasi is home to about 1,000 tribesmen living almost the same way as our ancestors in the Stone Age, and who relies fully on hunting and gathering for their upkeep. You will start your tour getting to know the Datoga blacksmiths that work in a very primitive environment to make jewellery. Their most important works are weapons such as arrowheads and knives, which they trade with the Hadzabe in exchange for their daily catch (antelopes, gazelles and birds as well as fruits, roots and honey from the baobab trees).
After lunch, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a nice walk around Lake Eyasi, a seasonally shallow, salted lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. You will then be driven to the camp in time for a magical sunset.

Lake Natron is located in the arid and beautiful Rift Valley. This alkaline lake is inhospitable to most wildlife apart from flocks of flamingos that rise above the water in a rosy formation. In fact, the lake is the primary breeding ground for lesser flamingos in East Africa, with more than 2 million individual birds gathering in the area every year. After lunch, you will be able to enjoy a nice walk around the lake and view the magical sunset. We suggest an early dinner and ample rest at the camp.

East Africa has 1.5 to 2.5 million lesser flamingos, representing 3 quarters of the world population, and most of them are hatched at Lake Natron. Food is plentiful, nesting sites abound, and above all, the lake is isolated and undisturbed. The lake and its ecosystem provide a source of livelihood to the local communities. Activities include walks around the lake and to the streams and waterfalls along the nearby escarpment. This makes for a fantastic adventure off-the-beaten-track.
