The park was established in 1960 to give elephants, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes, and gazelles a protected habitat. The Lake Manyara National Park is also home to the tree-climbing lions – tree climbing is a trait not normally found amongst big cats and it is quite a sight to see. Upon entering the park your driver will open the vehicle roof and you can then start your wildlife watching in earnest. In the late afternoon, you will arrive at Kudu Lodge overnight. Lunch; Dinner
