The itinerary

Day 01

Lake Manyara Wildlife Safari

We will depart for Lake Manyara National Park early in the morning. Once we arrive in Manyara, we will explore the enormous termite mounds and the ancient baobab trees. This park is renowned for its diverse bird species and extensive population of elephants.
Particularly impressive are the pink-coloured 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, 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 will leave the national park and spend the night at a campsite near the small village of Mto wa Mbu.

Day 02

Tarangire National Park Safari and Return

After an early breakfast, we head to Tarangire National Park. In 1970, the national park emerged from a former colonial hunting ground. It has a very diverse animal world, not least because of its size, which corresponds to approximately Luxembourg.
The park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in the north of Tanzania and many other wild animals. With some luck, you can spot lions, cheetahs, or leopards. The landscape of the park is very diverse. Especially imposing are the giant baobab trees, located close together in the northeastern sector of the park. In the late afternoon, you will return to Moshi with many impressions of your safari.
