Your journey begins in Arusha, where you'll head to Lake Manyara National Park, a picturesque area nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley. Here, you'll encounter a stunning variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and the famous tree-climbing lions that often lounge on acacia branches. The park is also a haven for bird lovers, with large flocks of pelicans and pink flamingos gracing the lake's shores.
