3. Lake Manyara → Zanzibar

Your final safari morning unfolds in Lake Manyara National Park, a compact gem where groundwater forests meet the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Famous for its tree-climbing lions, the park also dazzles with troops of blue monkeys, giant kingfishers, and vast flamingo flocks crowding the alkaline lake. After capturing last photos of these unique ecosystems, return to Arusha for your afternoon flight to Zanzibar (16:35-18:00), arriving in time for a sunset cocktail on the beach.
