Day 1
Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park
Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park
After enjoying your morning meal in Arusha, you'll journey to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day of wildlife exploration, accompanied by picnic lunches. Later, you will head to Lake Manyara Jambo Lodge for dinner and spend the night. Extending over a distance of 50 kilometers along the foothills of the rustic 600-meter-high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a picturesque jewel, praised by Ernest Hemingway as "the most beautiful I had witnessed in Africa." The condensed safari route through Manyara provides a miniature representation of the Tanzanian safari adventure. Starting from the entrance gate, the path meanders through a vast, lush, jungle-like groundwater forest, where numerous baboon troops leisurely perch along the roadside. Blue monkeys agilely traverse the ancient mahogany trees, delicate bushbuck cautiously traverse the shadows, and large forest hornbills create a cacophony in the lofty canopy.
