Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park
The safari starts from Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport, where your guide will come and pick you up, and then proceed to Lake Manyara National Park. On this day, you will enjoy the excellent view over Lake Manyara, see elephants up close in the woodlands, and visit the renowned Manyara hippo pool where many, many hippos take to the water from early morning until late in the evening.
The park offers a great view of the 400 metres deep Great Rift Valley. This tear in the earth came into existence 22 to 25 million years ago, when movement in a weak area of the earth’s crust led to the formation of a rift thousands of kilometres long through the whole of East Africa. The valley is so enormous that it can be seen from outer space, and it has many unique landscapes that attract a vast number of different animals. Besides being home to Lake Manyara itself, you can also find dense rainforest here with hundreds of groups of monkeys and a huge number of birds.
