Early Morning: Departure from Arusha

Your safari begins with an early 6:00 AM pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. Meet your professional safari guide from Kishapui Africa Adventures and depart in a comfortable safari vehicle for a scenic drive of approximately 2 hours.

Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley, pass through local villages, and take in the changing landscapes as you approach Lake Manyara National Park.

Mid-Morning: Game Drive in Lake Manyara National Park

Upon entering the park, your game drive begins immediately. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for its rich biodiversity and varied ecosystems. You will travel through dense forest areas where elephants are often seen feeding, open plains frequented by giraffes and zebras, and wetland zones filled with birdlife.

Wildlife sightings may include:

• Elephants and buffaloes moving through the forest
• Giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and antelope species
• Lions, including the famous tree-climbing lions resting in acacia trees
• Hippos near water channels and lake shores

Birdwatchers can expect sightings of flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, storks, and many other water and woodland bird species.

Midday: Picnic Lunch with Scenic Views

At midday, you will stop at a designated picnic site within the park to enjoy a freshly prepared picnic lunch. With views of the lake, forest, or Rift Valley escarpment, this peaceful setting offers the perfect opportunity to relax and reflect on the morning’s safari experience.

Afternoon: Continued Game Drive & Return to Arusha

After lunch, continue your exploration of the park with an afternoon game drive. This is an excellent time for photography, as wildlife becomes more active and the light softens across the landscape.

At around 3:00 PM, you will begin your return journey to Arusha, arriving back at your hotel at approximately 5:30 PM, marking the end of your unforgettable Lake Manyara day safari.
