Safari Lake Manyara and Departure

After breakfast, we’ll visit the nearby Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive, where you’ll encounter large groups of playful baboons. The park’s name originates from "Emanyara," a plant revered by the Maasai people. The lush lakeshore, lined with yellow fever trees, and the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment create a breathtaking backdrop.

This park features a unique landscape, beginning with a refreshing groundwater forest that stands apart from the typical savannah. As we explore, we may spot roaring lions, vibrant flamingos on the soda lake, majestic water birds, and energetic baboon troops. The greenery and striking cliffs make this experience truly memorable.
