Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park

You will be picked up at your hotel in the morning after breakfast. You drive along with your guide to Lake Manyara National Park in the East African Rift Valley. The journey takes about 3 hours. The park is dominated by the lake of the same name, which attracts large colonies of water birds. Particularly impressive are the pink-colored flamingos, but there are also many other bird species such as cormorants, pelicans and storks. A total of about 400 different bird species live in the park. The park is also famous for its tree climbing lions, which are usually found in the central and open part of the park. During the safari you will also see elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos and many other animal species. In the late afternoon you leave the national park, and will spend the night at a campsite near the small village Mto wa Mbu.

Lake Manyara Region - Tarangire National Park - arusha

After an early breakfast, we depart for Tarangire National Park, a vast and beautiful reserve that was established in 1970 from what was once a colonial hunting ground. Covering an area comparable in size to Luxembourg, Tarangire is renowned for its rich and diverse wildlife. It is home to one of the largest elephant populations in northern Tanzania, as well as a wide variety of other animals. With a bit of luck, you may spot lions, cheetahs, or even elusive leopards.

The park’s landscape is equally captivating, featuring rolling savannahs, seasonal swamps, and iconic baobab trees—especially impressive in the park's north-eastern region where they grow in dense clusters. After a full day of game viewing and exploration, we head back to arusha in the late afternoon, carrying with us unforgettable memories and stunning photographs of Tanzania’s incredible wildlife.
