Day 3

Lake Manyara National Park to Zanzibar

Lake Manyara National Park to Zanzibar

After breakfast at 6:30 am, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park for a full game drive. Later in the afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha airport to catch a flight to Zanzibar.

Lake Manyara is one of the most underestimated national parks in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Everything you’ll see here is on a different scale, at once compact (this is one of the narrowest parks in Africa) and epic (the Rift Valley escarpment towers over Lake Manyara’s western boundary). You’ll see plenty of baboons and elephants in the park’s thick evergreen forest, and watch for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. Thanks to the proximity of the lake, forest, and rock walls, the birdlife will also tease out your inner birder— don’t forget your binoculars.

This is where your safari in Tanzania will end. We hope that you have had the most fabulous trip and we can't wait to help you plan your next safari.
