Lake Manyara National Park Day Tour
About Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania’s National parks , we highly recommend you make the this tour.
The dramatic western escarpment of the Rift Valley forms the park’s western border.
To the east is the alkaline Lake Manyara, which covers one-third of the park, but shrinks considerably in
the dry season. During the rains, the lake hosts millions of flamingos and other birdlife.
While Manyara lacks the raw drama of other northern circuit destinations, its vegetation is diverse,
ranging from savannah to marshes to evergreen forest (11 different ecosystems in all) and it supports one
of the highest biomass densities of large mammals in the world. Elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes,
buffaloes and wildebeest are often spotted. Leopards and hyenas are also here. Lake Manyara is also home
to a famous population of tree-climbing lions.

DAY 1: HOTEL TO LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
You'll depart from Arusha / Moshi after breakfast and begin the drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The journey takes approximately two hours from Arusha 3 hrs from Moshi, but we'll pass through the market town of Mto Wa Mbu Village along the way. This agricultural and fresh produce market is a melting pot of local cultures and a souvenir hunter's paradise.
After a brief stop at the village market, you'll enter Lake Manyara, National Park. The park is truly a photographer's playground and offers some of the best game viewings in the world. You can expect to see many of Africa's most well-known animals, with the tree-climbing lions a particular treat. These proud predators lounge in acacia trees practically begging to be photographed.
Bird-watchers will find Lake Manyara is an absolute delight, with a huge variety of birds on display in the park. Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly colored lilac-breasted roller. You'll return to Arusha in the late afternoon.
