Today we will go on a full day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. This park is known for its breathtaking panoramic views, waterfalls and babbling brooks with clear water and hot springs. It is located between the rocks of the Great Rift Valley and Lake Manyara. Of the approximately 390 km2 that make up the park, two-thirds of that is water. The rest of the park is a large strip of land between the lake and the rocks.

The beauty of this park is partly due to its large variety of wildlife, grasslands, forests and water. Lake Manyara has one of the largest populations of water birds in Africa at over 400 species, including flamingos and pelicans. Large herds of elephants are also found here, as well as giraffes, hippos, water buffalo and impalas. At the end of the afternoon we will go to African Glamping Tented Camp.

The park is famous for the migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and thousands of predators fleeing drought in search of fresh water and grazing.
