Our tour begins with you meeting our professional driver-guides in Arusha, who will present a short safari-briefing and provide you with a picnic lunch before you transfer to Lake Manyara National Park. After lunch at the lodge, we’ll make our way into the park, which is one of Tanzania’s most impressive wildlife areas. It consists of a massive (but shallow) soda lake that covers two-thirds of the park at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. The park’s varied habitat attracts a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants. Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions, as well as large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the lake, also call this place home.
