Day 2: Arusha -­ Lake Manyara National Park – Karatu

Soon after finishing breakfast we will drive to lake Manyara National Park which is just 3 hours drive from the logde where you have spent your night. The park consists of 330 km2 of arid land, forest, and a soda-­‐lake which covers as much as 200 km2 of land during the raining season but is nearly nonexistent during the dry season. It is known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake. During the raining season they inhabit the edges of the lake in flocks of thousands but they are not so present during the dry season. More than 400 species of birds inhabit the park and many remain throughout the year. Because of this the park is a good spot for bird watching. The park also has a large number of monkeys, zebras, buffalos, elephants, gazelles, hippopotami, giraffes, impala and if you are lucky enough you can spot also lions and leopards. After a full day game drive, enjoyed from the open roof of the vehicle, you will leave the park and travel to Karatu for the overnight at Tloma lodge (or similar).
