Where Forest, Lake, and Wildlife Meet in a One-Day Safari Escape
This full-day safari to Lake Manyara National Park is the perfect short adventure for travelers based in Arusha or Moshi who want to experience Tanzania’s rich wildlife, lush scenery, and peaceful lakeside beauty — all in a single day.
Often called a “hidden gem,” Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, and flocks of flamingos dancing along the water’s edge. The park offers a stunning variety of ecosystems — from dense forests filled with monkeys, to open grassy plains where elephants roam, to the shimmering alkaline lake that attracts thousands of birds.
With an expert guide, a comfortable safari vehicle, and a camera in hand, you’ll explore a compact but incredibly diverse landscape filled with surprises at every turn.
What You Can Expect to See on This Day Trip:
-
Tree-climbing lions (a rare behavior seen only in a few parts of Africa)
-
Huge herds of elephants, often with babies by their side
-
Baboons, blue monkeys, and vervet monkeys in the forest canopy
-
Colorful flocks of flamingos, storks, pelicans, and over 400 bird species
-
Buffalos, zebras, wildebeests, and if lucky — a leopard on the move
-
Breathtaking views of the Great Rift Valley escarpment
- Day 1
Lake Manyara
This scenic day trip begins with an early morning drive from Arusha or Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park, a compact but diverse park nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy a game drive through lush forests, acacia woodlands, and along the lakeshore, spotting wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, hippos, baboons, and, if lucky, the park’s famous tree-climbing lions. The alkaline lake itself attracts thousands of flamingos and other water birds, making it a paradise for bird lovers. After a picnic lunch inside the park, the game drive continues before returning to your hotel in the late afternoon — a perfect short safari rich in wildlife, scenery, and birdlife.
