Day Trip - Lake Manyara National Park from Arusha

You’ll be driving in a spacious 4WD Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof. During your day trip in Lake Manyara National Park, you might encounter animals such as hippos, flamingos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, impalas, buffalos, baboons, and blue vervet monkeys. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a lion lounging in a tree! Of course, there’s plenty more wildlife waiting to be discovered. Driving through the park is an exciting and adventurous experience. Here, you might get surprisingly close to the animal sometimes without even realizing it! So, keep your eyes and ears open. During the wet seasons (November - December and March - May), the lake can expand to cover up to 60% of the park’s total area - an impressive 231 km². During these months, its high-alkaline waters attract a variety of migratory waterbirds, including the iconic pink flamingos. After our lunch break, we’ll head out for another game drive to search for any animals we may have missed, making sure to check off as many incredible wildlife encounters as possible. At the end of the day, we’ll prepare for the drive back to Arusha
