After breakfast, you will head to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day safari drive, passing through picturesque landscapes. The park, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, is known for its stunning scenery and diverse wildlife. You may witness the park’s famous tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos attracted by the algae in the alkaline lake waters. During your drive, you’ll also see elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and hippos in various habitats.
Visit the hot springs known as “Maji Moto” to observe fascinating geothermal features. Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch within the park, reflecting on the morning’s sightings. In the afternoon, visit a Maasai boma to learn about Maasai culture and traditions, engaging with the community and possibly witnessing traditional performances. Afterward, drive back to Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay at your accommodation, reflecting on the day’s adventures.
