Discover Lake Manyara Together
Lake Manyara offers a varied setting for a family safari, with groundwater forests, lake scenery and views of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park supports wildlife including elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos and baboons, giving children plenty to look for along the way. Sightings depend on conditions and animal movements. Lake Manyara National Park
Your guide helps turn each game drive into a learning experience, explaining animal behaviour and encouraging children to notice tracks, birds and the smaller details of the landscape.

One-Day Lake Manyara Safari
A day trip can suit families staying in Arusha who want a short wildlife experience.
Travel to Lake Manyara, explore the park with your guide, enjoy a lunch break and return to Arusha after your game drive. This option includes road travel in both directions, so consider how comfortable your children are with a full day away.
Two-Day Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Safari
Add an overnight stay to explore two destinations without returning to Arusha between them.
Day 1: Arusha to Lake Manyara
Depart for Lake Manyara and enjoy a guided game drive with a lunch break. Afterwards, continue to your chosen accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
After breakfast, travel to Ngorongoro for a crater game drive before returning to Arusha.
The departure schedule and accommodation will be confirmed in your personalised itinerary.
A Longer Tanzania Family Safari
For families with more time, Lake Manyara can form part of a private itinerary that also includes Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
We can build in additional nights where needed to reduce frequent hotel changes and give your family more time to enjoy each destination.

- Meal times and children’s food preferences.
