1 Day Private Lake Manyara National Park Safari from Mto Wa Mbu, Tanzania (2026 - 2027)

From Mto wa Mbu to Lake Manyara National Park

Initiate your odyssey with a prompt morning retrieval from your Mto wa Mbu lodging, a vibrant cultural hub adjacent to the park, followed by a mere 15-minute drive to Lake Manyara National Park, nestled between the Great Rift Valley escarpment and its namesake alkaline lake. Enter through the northern gate and embark on a 5-6-hour game drive across diverse ecosystems—lush groundwater forests, open savannas, marshy wetlands, and soda shores—where your sagacious guide unveils sightings of the park’s iconic tree-climbing lions lounging in acacias, vast elephant herds traversing plains, lumbering hippos in shallow lagoons, and giraffes, zebras, wildebeest mingling with buffalo and impalas. Marvel at over 400 avian species, and lesser flamingos carpeting the lake in resplendent pink. Return to Mto wa Mbu by evening, enriched by this fusion of adventure and conservation. Exquisite for wildlife devotees and families, it encapsulates Tanzania’s Rift Valley splendor in one soul-stirring day.
