After breakfast, journey to Lake Manyara National Park through the scenic Great Rift Valley floor. This lush park is graced with tropical forests adorned by towering fig and mahogany trees.

Lake Manyara National Park is a haven for diverse wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, various antelope species, playful monkeys, and a thriving hippopotamus community. Lucky observers might even glimpse the famous tree-climbing lions of Manyara, leisurely resting on Acacia tortilis tree branches. The park also boasts an impressive avian population, featuring flamingos, pelicans, hornbills, and a vibrant array of forest-dwelling bird species.
