Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park Safari

  • Pick-up from your hotel in Arusha and drive to Lake Manyara National Park.

  • Proceed to spot a great variety of birds, along with other animals.

  • Get a chance to see elephants in the wooded regions and, with even more fortune, spot the tree-climbing lions. For the longest time, it was believed that Lake Manyara National Park is the only place where lions can be found with this typical tree-climbing behaviour.

  • Witness baboons and vervet monkeys, also found within the forested areas of the park. In the more open spaces, giraffes can be seen nibbling on fresh leaves, while various types of antelopes common to the region browse for tasty shoots.

  • After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife watching before it is time to return to Arusha.

  • Arrive in Arusha and transfer to your hotel.
