1 Day Tanzania Safari in March to Lake Manyara National Park

Typically, the trip starts early in the morning at around 7:00 AM. Since the drive to the park takes roughly two hours, this early start allows for maximum game viewing time. You will spend roughly six hours inside the park before returning to the city by evening.

March is a beautiful month as it marks the beginning of the green season. The landscapes are exceptionally lush and the groundwater forest feels like a tropical jungle. You will see vibrant greenery and many wildflowers blooming throughout the park during your 1-day adventure

While sightings are never guaranteed, these unique predators are a major draw for this specific park. In March, they often climb the acacia trees to escape the damp grass or just to enjoy a better breeze. Your professional guide will use their tracking skills to locate them in their favorite mahogany thickets.

Yes, this is a prime month for bird enthusiasts visiting the Rift Valley. You will likely see thousands of pink flamingos along the shores and many migratory birds from Europe. The park is home to over 400 avian species, making it a paradise for photographers

You will travel in a customized 4x4 safari land cruiser with a pop up roof. The vehicle is equipped with charging ports to keep your cameras ready and a small fridge for cold water. Each passenger is guaranteed a window seat to ensure the best views of the elephants and baboons.

Every traveler receives a nutritious picnic lunch box prepared fresh in the morning. It usually contains items like roasted chicken, a sandwich, fresh fruit, and small snacks. You will enjoy this meal at a designated scenic spot, often overlooking the hippo pool.

You can certainly customize your day by adding a guided canopy walk for an additional fee. This sky high boardwalk allows you to walk through the ancient trees and see the forest from a monkey's perspective. It adds about forty five minutes to your trip and provides a unique adventurous touch.

We can easily alter your itinerary to include a cultural visit to a nearby Maasai boma near the gate. This provides a fascinating look into the traditional lifestyle and customs of the local people before you head back to Arusha. Most guests find this human connection to be a beautiful addition to their nature focused day.

Manyara is an excellent choice for families because the driving distance is relatively short. The abundance of monkeys and elephants usually keeps younger travelers very engaged throughout the day. We can also provide child seats and kid friendly snacks to make the journey comfortable.

We recommend wearing light, neutral colored clothing and bringing a waterproof jacket for occasional rain. Don't forget your camera, extra memory cards, and a pair of binoculars for a closer look at the wildlife. A wide brimmed hat and sunblock are also essential for protection against the afternoon sun.
