Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, you'll leave Arusha and begin your journey to Lake Manyara National Park and get there in just two hours.

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the Park is stunningly beautiful. Many of Africa's most well-known creatures can be expected to be seen, with tree-climbing lions being a special treat. These self-assured predators sit under acacia branches are surely a marvel to see.

You’ll also explore the landscape and the rich flora and fauna inside the park. Marvel at the African elephant, a zebra, or a majestic cheetah in pursuit of prey.

After a midday picnic lunch, you will resume your afternoon game drive before driving to Migombani Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.
