Welcome to
Day Safari from Arusha: Lake Manyara National Park
The lake’s alkaline soda waters attract an incredible variety of bird species – more than 400 in total – including thousands of colourful flamingos that paddle along the shores. From the park entrance, the road winds through a lush groundwater forest, where troops of baboons can often be seen along the road or high in the trees.
On the grassy shores of the lake, wildebeest, giraffe, zebra and large herds of buffalo graze peacefully side by side. Keep an eye on the imposing mahogany and acacia trees; with any luck, you’ll spot the famous tree-climbing lions, resting lazily on the branches. Enjoy an unforgettable lunch in the heart of the National Park, surrounded by spectacular views of the lake and its diverse wildlife.
