We pick you up from your accommodation in the early morning for your adventure and game drive in Lake Manyara. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos.
Some unique facts about this park include the tree-climbing lions and the flamingos at the lakeshore. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words. The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion (at an extra cost).
