On the fifth day, you’ll explore the verdant Lake Manyara National Park, famed for its birdlife, forested terrain, and tree-climbing lions. The park is a haven for flamingos, baboons, and hippos, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment.
To conclude, unwind with a visit to Chemka Hot Springs, a secluded paradise of turquoise water shaded by giant fig trees. It’s the perfect natural spa to relax and reflect before your flight home. This final touch of serenity leaves you refreshed after days of thrilling wildlife encounters.
