Commence your descent into the floor of the Great Rift Valley, where the next destination awaits – Lake Manyara National Park.
The name “Manyara” originates from the Maa language of the Masai people, referencing the abundant euphorbia tirucalli tree species in the area, traditionally used by the nomadic Masai to create protective hedges for their homesteads and livestock. The park is renowned for these trees and its iconic tree-climbing lions, often found indulging in an afternoon siesta on the branches. Encounter a variety of other animals, including impalas, giraffes, buffaloes, and dik-diks, as you explore this evergreen park.
Upon entering the park, a lush, green forest fed by underground water streams greets you, providing a perfect habitat for Blue monkeys, baboons, bushbucks, and large elephants seeking shelter from the afternoon sun. Observe these majestic creatures grazing on green branches, twigs, and herbs. Explore the Hippo pools and the shores of Lake Manyara, witnessing hippos and a myriad of aquatic birds, including vibrant flamingoes, pelicans, Egyptian geese, and cormorants.
Engage in game drives until midday before returning to Arusha. Upon your return, choose to be dropped off at your Arusha hotel or, if you are departing on this day, take advantage of the nominal fee for transportation to Kilimanjaro International Airport. Enjoy a packed lunch and dinner during your journey.
This concludes your enriching 3-day safari in Tanzania from Arusha. Note that airport transfers and accommodation in Arusha before the safari can be arranged at your request.
