DAY TRIP TANZANIA SAFARI TO LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Our experience the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park on a day trip safari in 2026-2027. Starting early from Arusha or Moshi, you’ll journey through picturesque landscapes to this stunning park. Famous for its tree-climbing lions, large elephant herds, and colorful flamingos on the lake, Lake Manyara offers an incredible wildlife experience. You’ll enjoy game drives through diverse habitats, spotting giraffes, zebras, and playful baboons, and take a break with a picnic lunch in the heart of nature. This short but exciting adventure is perfect for those looking to explore Tanzania’s wildlife in just one day.

In the early morning, we will collect you from your hotel in Arusha and drive you to Lake Manyara National Park. The park encompasses the northwest part of the alkaline Lake Manyara which itself rests in the Great Rift Valley. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos, pelicans and cormorants but it is also the home for a few hundred other species of birds; it is therefore a paradise for ornithologists. Next to a great variety of birds, the “Big Game” can also be seen. With a bit of luck, you might see elephants in the wooded regions and with even more fortune the tree-climbing lions. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that the Lake Manyara National Park is the only place where lions can be found with this atypical behaviour of climbing trees. Baboons and vervet monkeys are also found amongst the forested areas and in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while the various types of antelopes common to the region browse for tasty shoots. After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife watching before it is time to return to Arusha.
