Tour Overview

Stretching for 50 kilometers along the base of the rusty–gold 600 meters high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”. Lake Manyara National Park covers an area of 330 square kilometers which is equivalent to 127 square miles, of which up to 200 square kilometers (77 square miles) is covered by Lake Manyara when water levels are high.

Lake Manyara National Park is located in northern Tanzania. The entrance gate lies 1.5 hours (126 kilometers/ 80 miles) west of Arusha along a newly surfaced road, close to the ethnically diverse market town of Mto wa Mbu. You can reach Lake Manyara National Park by road, by charter, or by scheduled flight from Arusha Airport en–route to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Lake Manyara National Park can be visited during the dry season which is July–October for large animals. The wet season is (November–June) for bird watching, the waterfalls, and canoeing special activity.

Tour Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Moshi to Lake Manyara National Park

You’ll depart from Moshi after breakfast and begin the drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The journey takes approximately two hours, but we’ll pass through the market town of Mto Wa Mbu Village along the way. This agricultural and fresh produce market is a melting pot of local cultures and a souvenir hunter’s paradise.

After a brief stop at the village market, you’ll enter Lake Manyara, National Park. The park is truly a photographer’s playground and offers some of the best game viewings in the world. You can expect to see many of Africa’s most well-known animals, with the tree-climbing lions a particular treat.

These proud predators lounge in acacia trees practically begging to be photographed. Bird-watchers will find Lake Manyara is an absolute delight, with a huge variety of birds on display in the park. Even the novice can expect to be amazed by large flamingo flocks, circling birds of prey, and the brightly colored lilac-breasted roller. You’ll return to Arusha in the late afternoon. Under the right conditions, it is also possible to take a guided canoe safari out on the lake. Consult your safari guide to see if this activity will be available for your visit.

The Best Time To Take This Tour!

The best time for this Tanzania safari Adventure is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife viewing reaches its peak. During these months, the Serengeti comes alive with the dramatic spectacle of the Great Migration as millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the plains, often followed by prowling predators. The dry conditions also draw animals to waterholes, making it easier to spot them in iconic parks like Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. For bird enthusiasts, the green season from November to May is equally captivating, with lush landscapes and vibrant migratory birds in abundance. Tanzania’s diverse offerings ensure that, no matter the time of year, every safari promises unforgettable moments in the heart of the wild.
