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). Afternoon visit Mto wa Mbu Village for a great cultural experience with an English Speaking Guide who grew up in the village.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch in search of migration The Great Migration is arguably the greatest wildlife show on earth. It is the largest single movement of wildlife on earth in search of water, pasture, and breeding grounds. Other than the great migrating herds we seek, we may also see cheetah, lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, wildebeest, hartebeest, topi, eland, crocs, Thomson’s and Grant’s Gazelle, amongst many more. With over five hundred bird species identified, the park is a veritable ornithological paradise, ostrich abound, secretary bird, marabou stork, and the largest flighted bird on Earth, the kori bustard. We will seek out these creatures with the keen intuition and experience of our "Wild guide" and, with day drawing to a close we will wend our way to our camp to unwind, dine and take our ease by the fire under the endless East African sky.
