Day 1: Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park expand_more
- Depart from Moshi or Arusha at 08.30 am and transfer by our special safari vehicles to Lake Manyara National Park for game viewing with packed lunch boxes.
- Lake Manyara National Park has a wonderful mosaic of different habitats, which attracts a whole host of animals, including a high density of elephants. Look out for monkeys, antelopes, zebras and hippos too.
- There are also lions, and some have developed the unusual behaviour of climbing trees for their afternoon snooze. However, they have not mastered the art of dragging their kill high into the branches, as the leopard is so adept at doing.
- Birdlife is fascinating at Lake Manyara, and numbers are at their peak during the rainy season when seed-eaters, insect-eaters and waterbirds thrive. Nomadic quelea (finch-like birds) gather in breeding flocks of many thousands and fly across Lake Manyara National Park in vast twittering clouds. Pelicans, storks, geese, herons and cormorants share their water world with migrant flamingos, which come and feed on the algae rich water and turn the crystalline edges of the soda lake a vibrant pink.
