Depart from your Arusha hotel and drive to Lake Manyara National park En route to Lake Manyara Park, we’ll be passing through Maasai country where we may spot the Maasai herders tending their flocks. Arrive in good time for lunch Get ready for the onslaught of colors that greets us at Lake Manyara – the cobalt alkaline lake, contrasting with vibrant flocks of feathery pink flamingoes, crowding its shores. The deep greens of the park’s acacia forest hold all manner of wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, impalas, wildebeests, and active troops of baboons. But it’s perhaps the tree-climbing lions that are a signature attraction of the park. You may spot them lazily napping way up on the branches of acacia trees, just waiting to have their picture taken. We’ll enjoy our first safari evening at our Lake Manyara safari tented camp
