Lake Manyara Day Tour itinerary

After breakfast, you’ll leave Arusha and begin your journey to Lake Manyara National Park. The journey will take about two hours, but we’ll stop in Mto Wa Mbu, a market town along the way. This agricultural and fresh produce market is a mash-up of local cultures and a treasure trove for souvenir hunters.

You’ll enter Lake Manyara National Park after a brief halt at the town market. The safari park is a photographer’s dream come true, with some of the best wildlife watching in the world. Many of Africa’s most well-known creatures can be seen, with tree-climbing lions being a special treat. These magnificent predators are virtually begging to be photographed as they sunbathe in acacia trees.

Lake Manyara, the bird watching paradise

Lake Manyara is a bird-paradise, a watcher’s with a large diversity of species on exhibit throughout the Lake Manyara safari park. Large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the beautifully colored lilac-breasted roller will astonish even the most inexperienced visitor.

In the late afternoon, you’ll return to Arusha.

It’s also possible to go on a guided canoe safari on the lake if the conditions are favorable. Check with your safari specialist to determine if this activity is available during your visit.
