Lake Manyara Safari

After picking you up from your hotel in Arusha, we will head towards the village of Mto Wa Mbu. You'll learn about Tanzanian culture in this village, which is home to nearly 120 different tribes.

In this area, residents engage in agriculture (mainly rice and bananas) and cattle raising, making it common to see cows near houses. Food stalls and local artists are frequently found in the streets.

Following the visit to Mto Wa Mbu, we'll proceed to Lake Manyara National Park, a designated Biosphere Reserve since 1981, known for its diverse ecosystems: semi-arid zones, swampy areas, and acacia or baobab forests.

In the park, you may encounter various wild animals, including elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, baboons, and up to 400 species of birds. A highlight of the park is the lions that rest in trees, and your guide will explain the reasons behind this behavior during the tour.

In the afternoon, we will return to the vehicles and take you back to your hotel in Arusha.

Important

On the day of the activity, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for hiking. Please bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
