Welcome to the Wild – Lake Manyara Begins the Journey

Your adventure begins with a private pickup from Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport and a scenic 3-hour drive through the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Manyara National Park. Upon arrival, you’ll check into a luxurious lodge surrounded by lush landscapes and peaceful seclusion—an ideal setting as your couples’ getaway or honeymoon officially begins. Enjoy a relaxed lunch and take time to settle into your serene surroundings.

In the late afternoon, set out on your first game drive into Lake Manyara’s diverse terrain. This compact but wildlife-rich park is home to elephants, flamingos, baboons, and, with luck, its famous tree-climbing lions. Return to your lodge at dusk for a romantic evening of fine dining and rest, as you begin your journey into the heart of Tanzania.
