2 Days Safaris Arusha N.Park And Lake Manyara

After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha and drive to **Lake Manyara National Park**. This impressive park is one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas. Along the way, you’ll pass through small towns and rural areas, providing a glimpse into everyday life in Tanzania.

The park’s diverse habitats attract a wide variety of animals, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, Manyara’s renowned tree-climbing lions, and large flocks of flamingos drawn to the lake’s algae. Game viewing will continue until late afternoon, after which we will head to the nearby town of Mto wa Mbu for dinner and an overnight stay. Accommodation options include camping or lodges, depending on your booking preference.

Start your day early with a drive to **Arusha National Park**, where you’ll enjoy an unforgettable game viewing experience. The morning is dedicated to exploring the park’s open plains by jeep, while the afternoon features a unique walking safari. That’s right—Arusha National Park is one of the few parks in Tanzania where walking safaris are allowed. We highly recommend this experience, as it offers an up-close encounter with the wildlife.

Arusha National Park encompasses diverse landscapes, including the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mount Meru, the Momela Lakes, the Ngurdoto Crater, and lush highland forests covering its lower slopes. Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is particularly spectacular, with thousands of flamingos often adding a pink hue to the shallows. These lakes also support a variety of resident and migratory waterfowl, alongside shaggy waterbucks with their impressive lyre-shaped horns.

The park is home to an array of wildlife, including Cape buffalo, giraffes, dik-diks, impalas, elands, Grant’s gazelles, vervet monkeys, banded mongooses, and olive baboons. The walking safari, which typically lasts 3–4 hours, is planned according to the park’s schedule. Later in the afternoon, we will depart for Moshi, Arusha, or Kilimanjaro International Airport, or transfer you to your hotel—marking the end of our 2-day safari adventure.
