Lake Manyara, Tarangire
Day 1
Drive to Lake Manyara for game drive with picnic lunch. Dinner and overnight at lodge or campsite.
Lake Manyara National Park is situated amidst the Great Rift Valley escarpment to the East and the lake Manyara to the West. This park is a natural habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including baboons, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, giraffes, various primates, and several types of antelope. The elusive tree climbing lions add to the excitement and thrill of a safari in this park. Additionally, Lake Manyara is renowned for its lush vegetation, more than 400 bird species, and a large alkaline lake that serves as the seasonal breeding ground for numerous colonies of flamingos.
The park’s diverse habitats provide a home to a variety of wildlife, including different species of mammals, reptiles, and birds. A major attraction of the park is the 400m canopy walk, which commences with a short board-walk and gradually ascends from ground level through the Manyara forest.
Day 2
After breakfast you will be transported to Tarangire with picnic lunch for a game drive, enroute to Moshi.
Tarangire National Park is widely regarded as one of the premier locations in Africa for observing large herds of elephants in close proximity. This is due not only to the presence of thousands of these majestic animals roaming the park, but also to the fact that they are not disturbed by the presence of vehicles or humans. In addition to the park’s impressive baobab trees, another major attraction is the presence of tree-climbing pythons in the acacia woodlands.
While Tarangire is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and a variety of bird species, orix are relatively scarce. Leopards, which tend to sleep in trees during the day, are rarely seen in daylight hours. From the elevated vantage point of an open-roofed safari vehicle, visitors can take in the breathtaking landscape of the savannah, which is adorned with massive baobab trees, as well as swamplands and wooded areas. Return to Moshi, where this safari ends.
