Itinerary

It’s a two-hour journey to Manyara and along the way is the multicultural village of Mto Wa Mbu where you will have a brief stopover. A thriving microcosm of Tanzanian ethnic diversity Mto Wa Mbu is a paradise for souvenier hunters and known as the market which has fresh agricultural produce on offer. From there you head straight to the Lake Manyara National Park. The picturesque topography is punctuated with diverse habitats and compressed into the relatively small space, is a remarkable density of animals. The park has a prolific number of elephants, giraffes, blue monkeys, hippos, olive baboons, wildebeest, and zebras but the most popular are the resident tree-climbing lions who are seen lounging on the acacia trees asking to be photographed. It’s a view all- in- a- day park offering excellent game viewing and photography opportunities.

Another attraction to behold are the countless flamingos forming a pink cloud on the alkaline shores of Lake Manyara Adding to the beauty are the millions of migrating birds which assemble around the algae-rich lakes. With nearly 400 species of bird, including circling birds of prey, and the brightly coloured lilac breasted roller; it’s a veritable feast of plumage that will warm your cockles and convert you into a bird watcher.

If conditions permit you can also avail of guided canoeing safari on the lake. In the late afternoon, you will start your drive back to Arusha.

Fabulous Safari!

Our guide, Charles, is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly! With his ability to spot animals and his knowledge of the animals and environment, we saw so many amazing animals and learned a ton, while enjoying our time in the truck. I would absolutely do Tanzania Safari Tours again and recommend a safari to NgoroNgoro Crater and Serengeti National Park with Lifetime Safaris.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

I came across Lifetime Safaris after a friend recommended to me, and I've already done a safari in Kenya before, and I have to say, I felt like I'm in safe hands, Baraka made sure I'm getting the best Tanzania Safari Experience for what I was able to pay for, he phoned up the place where I stayed , making sure I'm well and looked after, when he said he is going to be there, he was there, to pick me up or drop me off , so well done and highly recommend.
AWESOME EXPERIENCES WITH EXCELLENT PEOPLE

I did both safari and Kilimanjaro with Lifetime Safaris and I'm very satisfied! Awesome experiences with excellent people. The whole crew care for you and your needs all the time. And the guides were really friendly with much knowledge and lots of experience on both Tanzania Safari Tours & Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. A memory for life! Would really recommend! Couldn't be better!
