Today, your journey will take you to Lake Manyara National Park, the final destination of this incredible safari! Located 120km west of Arusha, Manyara is a small yet diverse park. What awaits you here is truly awe-inspiring. The park is both compact, being one of the narrowest parks in Africa, and epic, with the Great Rift Escarpment towering over the western boundary of Lake Manyara. The park gets its name from the shallow, salt lake that covers a significant portion of its area. This lake experiences seasonal flooding and drying, attracting thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species. As you explore the park, keep an eye out for baboons and elephants in the dense evergreen forest, and don’t miss the opportunity to spot the famous tree-climbing lions that have made a name for themselves across Africa. A delightful picnic lunch awaits you inside the park, adding to the overall experience. After your exhilarating game drive, you have the flexibility to choose your drop-off location, whether it’s Arusha City, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport.
