Lake Manyara:The name Manyara is derived from the Masai word “Emanyara”, which is a Euphorbia species of plant that is found around a family homestead in the area. After an early breakfast we drive down into the valley and explore the Lake Manyara National Park. Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.
Here guests will be introduced to large buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes and zebra herds congregating on the grassy plains while the narrow belt of acacia wood bordering the plains are the favored haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.
Taking in the expansive views eastward, across the central soda lake we will be amazed by the sight of thousands of pink-hued flamingos on their perpetual migration, as well as other large water birds such as storks, cormorants and pelicans. At the Southern end of the park we will visit algae-streaked sulphur hot water springs known as (MajiMoto) bubbling from deep within the earth.

After breakfast, we drive to the Ndutu area and continue with the game drive. Dinner and overnight at Ndutu Safari Lodge.

Ndutu Region:
Ndutu is a region located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania, East Africa. It is known for its vast open plains and grasslands which provide habitat for a variety of wildlife, including wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The region is particularly famous for the annual wildebeest migration that takes place between December and April when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores move across the Serengeti plains in search of fresh grazing. Ndutu is also home to Lake Ndutu, which is a seasonal lake that attracts a large number of flamingos during the rainy season. The region is popular with tourists and wildlife enthusiasts who visit the area to witness the incredible wildlife and natural beauty of Tanzania.
