Enjoy the Adventure

Enjoy an incredible one-day adventure with wildlife viewing and a glimpse into the lives of Tanzanian villagers. Lake Manyara National Park, located on the edge of the Rift Valley, may be small, but it boasts a rich variety of ecosystems and wildlife. Known for its tree-climbing lions and lively baboons, the park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise with vibrant species.

Explore the diverse landscapes, from the plains and acacia woodlands to the shores of the shallow alkaline lake. Despite its size, the park offers a range of habitats, including fig and mahogany trees. You might spot the park’s famous tree-climbing lions, along with elephants, hippos, wildebeests, buffaloes, and giraffes.

The park is home to around 400 bird species, adding splashes of color to your visit. Look for pink flamingos, as well as spoonbills, stilts, egrets, pelicans, cormorants, and yellow-billed storks.

Your trip also includes a tour of the vibrant village of Mto wa Mbu, where you’ll gain insight into local life. This day trip offers a unique blend of wildlife and culture.

Itinerary

We have carefully planned out each day to give you the best possible experience. From exploring historic landmarks to tasting delicious local cuisine, each day is packed with adventure and excitement. Join us as we take you on a journey through some of the most fascinating destinations in the world.

In the early morning, you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and driven to Lake Manyara National Park. This park stretches along the northwest shore of Lake Manyara, nestled in the Great Rift Valley. It’s renowned for its flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants, and is a haven for bird enthusiasts with over a hundred migratory and resident bird species.

In addition to its avian treasures, the park offers opportunities to see “Big Game.” With some luck, you might spot elephants in the wooded areas or even catch a glimpse of the park’s famous tree-climbing lions.

Lake Manyara National Park is particularly notable for its unique tree-climbing lions—a behavior once thought to be exclusive to this park. The park’s forested regions are also home to baboons and vervet monkeys. In the open spaces, giraffes munch on fresh leaves, while various antelopes graze on the lush vegetation.

After enjoying a picnic lunch, you’ll have more time for game and wildlife viewing before returning to Arusha.

This concludes your memorable Lake Manyara day trip.
