2-Day Lake Manyara & Tarangire Camping Safari

This day will be taking you to the paradise of the primates and aquatic birds. Lake Manyara national park offers breathtaking views and a large variety of habitats such as acacia woodlands and underground water forests. The park is very small but is able to support a large number of animal species and incredible bird life. It has a large concentration of baboons, giraffes, elephants, and impalas and the lions here are known for their tree climbing. After a great game viewing at lake Manyara national park, you will be driving to Mto wa Mbuu Campsite for the dinner and overnight.

In the morning you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park. The park is roughly the size of Luxemburg and covers an area of about 2,600 km². Bush savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve and the park is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants.

From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to watch them and absorb the landscape. Apart from elephants, the park is also home to Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds. After an extensive game drive, you will leave the park and drive back to Arusha.
