Safari Adventure in Tanzania

 

Exploring Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park

If you have to choose between spending one day in Manyara National Park or Tarangire National Park, it ultimately depends on your preferences and what you hope to experience during your visit.

Manyara National Park: Located in Tanzania, Manyara is known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. It’s particularly famous for its tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos that inhabit the lake. The park also offers opportunities for birdwatching, game drives, and walking safaris. Manyara is smaller in size compared to Tarangire but still offers a rewarding experience within a shorter timeframe.

Tarangire National Park: Renowned for its large herds of elephants and baobab trees, Tarangire is a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts. It hosts a wide variety of animals, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests. Tarangire is larger than Manyara and provides extensive game drive options and photographic opportunities.

If you have limited time and want to focus on a specific aspect like tree-climbing lions or flamingos, Manyara National Park might be a better choice. However, if you’re interested in encountering a broader range of wildlife, especially elephants, and experiencing the unique landscapes with baobab trees, Tarangire National Park could be the preferred option.

Ultimately, both parks offer memorable experiences, and if possible, it would be ideal to spend more time exploring each of them.

Incredible experience made all the more special by Honest and his team We couldn’t endorse Honest and his team more. Immediately after meeting, we were made to feel extremely welcome, safe, and informed, which remained throughout the duration of our adventure.We first climbed Mount Meru where Honest took us to spots to see Giraffes in the wild as well as many monkeys, warthogs, and other animals. This served as the perfect preparation for Kilimanjaro.The team we had for Kili was exemplary. The whole time there was a real bond between the entire group. We’d regularly spend time beyond meal times talking with Honest and Justin about life and the adventure we were currently on which was extremely insightful. The food also far surpassed our expectations with exactly the type of fuel we needed such as pastas, fruits, eggs, etc. Our chef was called the “stomach engineer” for very appropriate reasons!Throughout the climb, Honest ensured we maintained an enjoyable tempo and there wasn’t a moment we felt too slow or rushed. The culmination of this was being fresh for summit morning and being the first team to summit, just as the sun was rising. With minor altitude sickness in the team on descent, Honest gave appropriate nutrition and instruction to manage the situation. Thereafter, there was a party atmosphere within the group, even having music and dancing on the last morning of the descent where we exchanged gifts and final stories.Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime made all the more special by Honest and his team. Perfectly prepared and executed that set us up for success. The relationship with Honest was tremendous, so much so that we are still in regular contact today and when a return trip is due, there are no hesitations in going straight to Zanzi Trekking and Safaris.
