As you explore, keep an eye out for playful baboons and majestic elephants within the dense evergreen forests, and don’t miss the park’s famous tree-climbing lions—a sight unique to Lake Manyara.
After your game drive and walking safari, you’ll be transferred to your chosen drop-off point, whether it’s Arusha, the airport (JRO), or another location. We hope your journey with Lion King Adventures has been filled with unforgettable memories!
