Pick up from Hotel/Airport and leave for Lake Manyara National Park to arrive in good time for lunch and rest. In the afternoon, head for a game drive: The lake can be seen through a hue of pink, due to the large numbers of flamingos, seasonally flocking to its shores. The more than 400 species of birds make this park a bird lovers’ paradise and on any given day 100 different species can be observed. Apart from the avian inhabitants, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, and antelopes can be spotted in the forest, acacia trees, and grasslands. With a bit of luck, you will be able to catch a glimpse of the famous tree-climbing lions, a somewhat uncommon trait for these large cats.
