The Classic North

Arusha -> (Manyara’s Secret)

Often overlooked, Tarangire offers iconic safari scenery, from the large Baobab trees where elephants gather to escape the sun, to the Tarangire River lined with beautiful acacia trees. The Tarangire River is a vital source of water for the game there, and one of the few in the region that runs throughout all seasons making the park self-sustaining and frequently visited by the park’s large elephant population, zebras, and antelopes.

Once your morning game drive is complete, you can admire a great view of the river while you enjoy your lunch break at the picnic site. After your lunch break you will have the final game drive of the day as your guide tries to end it on a high note, searching for the animals you have yet to see.

After your day’s drive is done, you’ll retire to your accommodation, Manyara’s Secret for the evening. This boutique lodge offers incredible views of Lake Manyara from every room, the main dining area, and swimming pool. While you enjoy your private villa, you can hear the waves crashing on the shore from under the covers in bed, or feel the breeze as you enjoy your private plunge pool to cool off after a long day. Each villa also features an outdoor shower where you can view the stars at night.
