Picnic in the heart of the park and then explore the shores of Soda Lake, with its pink shimmer of flamingo, one of over four hundred species of dazzling birds including the forest hornbill, pelican, and cormorant.
Lake Manyara is home to the legendary tree-climbing lion as well as powerful water buffalo, African elephant, giraffe, impala, and hippo. In the late afternoon, say goodbye to Manyara and drive to Arusha, through Maasai bomas, baobab forest, and rolling savannah.
