3-Day Safari from Arusha through Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Arusha

• We will gather early at dawn and head off to the beguiling and often overlooked Arusha National Park. Arusha is a jewel of Tanzania, with varied plant and animal life that will make you hold your breath.
• You will explore the shores of tranquil Lake Momella, which reflects the colours of the sky in its still waters, and experience the vibrancy of the bronzed bush, where buffalo, waterbuck, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and gazelles busy themselves. These animals are residents throughout the year, so you are bound to see diverse wildlife everywhere you turn. The elusive leopards and elephants tend to be shy in Arusha, but there is a good chance of spotting them. You will also have a chance to set out on foot for a fascinating walk. It is a different sensation to feel Africa's vibrant pulse through the soles of your shoes. At a slower pace, you can start to understand Africa.
• You will get up close and personal with the flora and fauna while staying safe, accompanied by an armed ranger who will guide you through lush forest to the clear springs of a sparkling waterfall. Arusha National Park's rangers are highly knowledgeable, and as you stroll, you will learn so much about the park's biodiversity. You will soon spot a troop of black-and-white colobus monkeys, famous in the park for their acrobatics.
• Then, you will return to Arusha.

• We will leave for Tarangire National Park and begin exploring its gigantic termite mounds and ancient baobab trees. This park is famously known for its many bird species and vast population of elephants. There are regular sightings of lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and mischievous baboons.
• After viewing the wildlife in Tarangire, we will continue our journey to our next highlight, Lake Manyara.

Dinner and overnight.

• After breakfast, you will be driven from Arusha to Lake Manyara. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park offers picturesque and diverse scenery. We will have a picnic lunch in this beautiful park.
• Its varied habitats, including rainforest, the soda lake, and savannah, support a highly diverse ecosystem. With over four hundred bird species, some of which are migratory, the reserve is a birdwatcher's delight. Lake Manyara is home to the legendary tree-climbing lions, as well as buffalo, elephants, giraffes, impalas, and hippos.
• We will be back in Arusha in the late afternoon.
