Day 01
Lake Manyara National Park Safari from Arusha
- Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The park covers the northwestern part of the alkaline Lake Manyara near the Great Rift Valley. It is famed for its flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants, and is also home to a few hundred other bird species. A paradise for ornithologists, the park also offers the chance to see "Big Game" alongside its remarkable birdlife.
- With luck, you may spot elephants in the wooded areas and the famous tree-climbing lions. For a long time, it was believed that lions with the unusual habit of climbing trees could only be found in Lake Manyara National Park. Vervet monkeys and baboons are also found in the forested areas, while in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at fresh leaves and various types of antelope common to the region browse for tasty shoots.
- After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for game viewing and wildlife watching before returning to Arusha.
