Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

This morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, the final stop on your epic safari. Although small, Manyara is incredibly diverse and lies 120 km west of Arusha. The park combines intimate landscapes with grand vistas—the towering Great Rift Escarpment rises above the park’s western edge, while the shallow, seasonal Lake Manyara stretches across the valley, attracting thousands of wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other species.

In addition to the lake, you may spot baboons and elephants within the thick evergreen forests, and keep an eye out for the famous tree-climbing lions. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed inside the park during your game drive.

After your adventure, you will be transferred to your chosen drop-off point—whether Arusha town, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport. We hope your journey with Go Expeditions Africa has been unforgettable and full of incredible wildlife memories!
