Day 01… LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
Today after breakfast we leave in the morning and drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Despite the park’s small size, the park’s vegetation is diverse, ranging from savanna to marshes and Acacia woodland, enabling it to support a remarkable variety of habitat. In additional to a striking setting and peaceful surroundings, Lake Manyara’s main attractions are its superb birdlife, its tree climbing lions and its hippos, which you can observe at a closer range here than at most places (nowadays it’s a game of chance due to climatic change and human activities around the park). Lake Manyara have also the Hot Springs formed due to the penetration of water from highlands to the Earth Cracks which are caused by the tectonic forces under the Earth.
To the east of the park is the alkaline lake Manyara which at certain times of the year hosts tens of thousands of flamingos as well as a diversity of other bird’s life. We will leave the park in the evening and drive to the lodge for overnight.
