Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park
Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park
You will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and depart for Lake Manyara National Park. Proceed on a game drive in the park with a picnic lunch.
This is one of the most diverse of Tanzania’s national parks, a small (325 km2) combination of Rift Valley lake, dense woodlands and steep mountainside. Manyara is a birding paradise (more than 380 species), especially for waterfowl and migrants, and the forests are one of the best places around to see leopards. Lions hunt on the grassy shores of the lake. Most visitors tailor a visit to Manyara to fit in with a trip to one of the Big Three parks (Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro).
Dinner and overnight are at Kankari Lodge in a tented room.
