Itinerary

After breakfast, your professional safari driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and begin the journey to Lake Manyara National Park, located along the Great Rift Valley.
Upon arrival, start your game drive through the park's diverse ecosystems. Although relatively compact, Lake Manyara offers an impressive variety of wildlife and landscapes, including open plains, acacia woodlands, groundwater forests, and the shores of the alkaline lake.
Keep an eye out for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, baboons, and other wildlife. The park is particularly famous for its tree-climbing lions.
Bird enthusiasts will also enjoy the park's remarkable birdlife, with opportunities to see flamingos, pelicans, egrets, cormorants, yellow-billed storks, spoonbills, and many other species.
Later, enjoy a Mto wa Mbu village and cultural experience, where you can learn about local traditions, agriculture, crafts, and everyday life.
Continue to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.
