Overview

Lake Manyara is a shallow alkaline lake, one of the many jewels of the Rift Valley. It supports vast flocks of flamingos, painting the horizon in soft pink hues as they gather at sunset.

The thick rainforest that surrounds the lake harbors a stunning variety of birdlife and monkeys, with the dense canopy echoing the lively sounds of tropical creatures. Lake Manyara National Park is also renowned for its rare tree-climbing lions, adding to the park’s unique charm and allure.

Tour Plan

Your adventure begins as you're picked up from your accommodation in the morning and driven to the stunning Lake Manyara National Park. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the park’s lush landscapes, from dense woodlands to expansive grassy plains. As you begin your game drive, keep your eyes peeled for elephants meandering through the forest, herds of buffalo grazing in the distance, and the vibrant birdlife that thrives near the lake's shores.

Lake Manyara is renowned for its tree-climbing lions, and with luck, you might spot one of these elusive predators resting in the branches of an acacia tree. As you traverse the park, you’ll enjoy the breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley escarpment and the shimmering waters of Lake Manyara, where flamingos and pelicans add a splash of color to the serene surroundings.

Midday, you'll pause at a scenic spot for a delightful packed lunch, allowing you to recharge while surrounded by the tranquility of nature. After lunch, the adventure continues with more wildlife viewing, where you might encounter giraffes gracefully moving through the bush, zebras, and playful troops of baboons. The afternoon offers further exploration, with stops to admire the park's rich biodiversity and unique vegetation.

As the day winds down, you'll make your way out of the park, enjoying the golden light of the late afternoon. You'll then be driven back to your accommodation, arriving in the evening, filled with unforgettable memories of your day at Lake Manyara National Park.

The meal plan for the day includes a packed lunch, and all transportation is arranged to ensure a seamless and comfortable experience.
