Day 1
Lake Manyara National Park Safari (Tree-Climbing Lions Tour)
Your exclusive day journey begins with a private executive morning pick-up directly from your lodge or hotel residence in Arusha city or Moshi town hub. You will board a private, clean 4x4 open-roof safari Land Cruiser engineered for field tracking. Your dedicated driver-guide handles a smooth transit across the floor of the Great Rift Valley straight to the Lake Manyara National Park main gate for rapid, VIP park registration. Upon entry, your game drive begins immediately inside the dramatic groundwater forest, where hundreds of olive baboons, blue monkeys, and large elephant families gather along the shady roadsides.
Following the forest drive, your journey moves out toward the wide-open lake floodplain. You wind through acacia woodlands where your expert guide helps you scan the branches for the park's legendary tree-climbing lions. For lunch, you unwind at a secure panoramic viewpoint overlooking the shimmering lake waters to enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch box filled with Tanzanian delicacies and chilled refreshments. Your afternoon is spent tracking down to the Maji Moto hot springs and traversing the lake margins, where thousands of pink flamingos, pelicans, hippos, and giraffes feed along the scenic shoreline.
As the sun sets over the sheer Rift Valley wall, your private return transit begins. Your driver drops you off safely back at your basecamp accommodation or private residence in Arusha or Moshi, or directly at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for onward travel connections.

FAQ

FAQ Expand All

FAQ 1; Are we guaranteed to see the tree-climbing lions?
While the lions here have a unique behavioral trait of resting up in the ancient mahogany and acacia trees to avoid wet ground and insects, sightings are dependent on wildlife movements. Your experienced guide uses a deep knowledge of their territory and behaviors to maximize your chances of spotting them.
FAQ 2; How long is the drive from Arusha or Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park?
The scenic drive takes approximately 2.5 hours from Arusha city and about 4 hours from Moshi town. The route travels along well-paved highways across the scenic floor of the Great Rift Valley, passing through local towns and panoramic viewpoints.
