After breakfast, our safari guide will greet you with a warm Tanzanian smile and pick you up from your lodgings for the drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Located 120km (75mi) west of Arusha, Manyara is a relatively small but diverse park named after the shallow soda lake that covers about 70% of its area.
Lake Manyara experiences seasonal flooding and drying, making it a habitat for thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. While exploring the park, you may encounter monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, and elephants, and with a bit of luck, you might even spot lions lounging in the trees. The park is renowned for its diverse landscapes, which include open grassy plains, primate-filled woodlands, and baobab-dotted cliffs.
Your professional guide will arrange a picnic lunch at a scenic site in the park. After a full day in the park, you will return to your lodgings, where you can relax and enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.
