Day 1

Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park

We pick you up from your accommodation in the early morning for your adventure and game drive in Lake Manyara. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos.

Some unique facts about this park include the tree-climbing lions and the flamingos at the lakeshore. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words. The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion (at an extra cost).

You will depart from the lodge in the early morning and head to the Ngorongoro Crater for your game drive. The crater is not only the largest unbroken caldera in the world, but it is also one of the new 7 Natural Wonders of Africa. The crater supports a vast variety of animals which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo and giant African elephant. The crater has a dense population of predators which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other waterbirds can usually be seen here.

After your morning game drive, you will take a break to enjoy your packed lunch at the Hippo Pool picnic site. Dinner and overnight will be at Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge Luxury Lodge, a comfortable and lovely place.
