Depart Arusha in the morning for Lake Manyara National Park, known for its lush forests, Soda Lake, and famous tree-climbing lions. Begin your journey in the groundwater forest where baboons and blue monkeys thrive, then continue into open plains and acacia woodlands frequented by elephants, giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes. The lake often hosts flamingos and other waterbirds, creating stunning scenery ideal for photography. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a beautiful viewpoint before exploring the hot springs and marshlands. Continue wildlife viewing in the afternoon, then exit the park and return to Arusha by early evening.
