Day 3: Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast you drive to Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its huge flocks of flamingos and tree-climbing lions. On a game drive through the park you see elephants, buffalo, antelope and numerous bird species. The combination of lake, forest and savannah makes the park unique and offers many photo opportunities.
