Safari summary
A day Private trip to Lake Manyara National Park from Arusha is the perfect way to see Tanzania’s amazing wildlife and beautiful landscapes in just one day. Located at the base of the Great Rift Valley, this small but stunning park is full of life and offers a mix of lush forests, acacia woodlands, open savannahs, and a sparkling soda lake. Because it’s compact, you can explore different habitats and spot a wide variety of animals in just a few hours.
Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a rare sight you won’t find easily anywhere else in Africa. You’ll also see elephants roaming the forests, giraffes nibbling on acacia leaves, and a lake full of flamingos, pelicans, and over 400 species of birds, making it a paradise for bird lovers. On top of that, the Rift Valley cliffs rise dramatically above the park, creating stunning views that are perfect for photos.
This private day trip safari gives you the freedom to go at your own pace, enjoy the comfort of a personal guide, and focus on the animals and scenery you most want to see. Whether you’re taking a relaxed game drive, snapping photos, or just soaking in the beauty around you, Lake Manyara offers a full and unforgettable experience even if you only have one day.
