DAY 2
Day 2: From Arusha to Lake Manyara to Mto wa Mbu
Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha in the morning and drive you to Lake Manyara National Park. The park encompasses the northwest bank and part of the alkaline Lake Manyara, resting in the Great Rift Valley. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos, pelicans and cormorants, but is also home to a few hundred other bird species — a paradise for ornithologists. Baboons and vervet monkeys are found in the forested areas, while giraffes nibble fresh leaves and various antelope browse the more open spaces.
