After breakfast at your accommodation, you will be collected by your private safari guide and drive to Lake ManyaraNational Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha. The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species.
On your exploration of the park you will see monkeys, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains, but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park and after a further afternoon game drive, you will head to your accommodation where you can relax and enjoy dinner.
