Complete Wildlife Safari Experience at Lake Manyara National Park
After your morning meal, you will start your safari towards Lake Manyara National Park which offers a wilderness experience in diverse habitats; from its Rift Valley soda lake to dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Apart from a spectacular setting, the park is famous for its unusual tree-climbing lions and the vast elephant herds it was established to protect.
The shores of the lake, encrusted with pink flamingos, attract more than 400 species of birds, many of them waterfowl or migrants. Large herds of buffalos, cheetahs, Masai giraffes, and impalas roam the lake shores and the forested valley slopes.
The park also features a ground-water forest, acacia tortilla woodland, and hot springs called Maji Moto. Troops of several hundred olive baboons appear alongside Sykes Monkey and short-eared galago. Cape clawless otters, Egyptian mongooses, hippos, and klipspringers are other park residents.
You'll transfer to the lodge for an overnight stay.
