About Day Trip to Lake Manyara National Park

  • Duration: 1 Day safari experience
  • Start & End: Arusha, Tanzania
  • Professional safari guides with 4x4 vehicles
  • All park fees and accommodation included
  • Big Five wildlife viewing opportunities

Experience the magic of Tanzania on a one-day safari to Lake Manyara National Park. This diverse park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, baboons, and the famous tree-climbing lions. You'll also have the chance to see over 400 species of birds, making Lake Manyara a birdwatcher's paradise.

Your safari will begin with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. The drive to Lake Manyara National Park takes approximately two hours, but you'll have the opportunity to stop at the market town of Mto Wa Mbu along the way. This bustling market is a great place to buy souvenirs and learn about local culture. Once you arrive at the park, you'll meet your experienced safari guide and set off on your game drive. Your guide will know all the best spots to see animals, and they'll be able to answer any questions you have about the park and its wildlife. As you drive through the park, you'll see a variety of landscapes, from lush forests and grassy plains to rocky escarpments and the alkaline lake itself. You'll also have the chance to see a variety of animals up close, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, baboons, and, if you're lucky, the tree-climbing lions.

In the afternoon, you'll stop for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot in the park. After lunch, you'll continue your game drive until it's time to head back to Arusha. You'll arrive back at your hotel in the evening, tired but happy after a day of adventure.
