Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast, you will set off for Lake Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Though relatively small, the park is incredibly diverse, with habitats ranging from lush groundwater forests and open savannah to acacia woodlands and the shimmering alkaline lake itself. Your game drive will take you through the forested entrance, where troops of baboons and blue monkeys are often seen. As you continue, keep an eye out for elephants moving gracefully through the woodland, giraffes browsing on acacia trees, and the park’s most famous residents—the elusive tree‑climbing lions. The lake itself is a haven for bird enthusiasts, with flocks of flamingos, pelicans, storks, and over 400 other bird species recorded here. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed in a scenic spot before continuing your exploration. In the afternoon, return to Arusha to your lodge or transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
