Crafting exclusive detox safaris in East Africa
Crafting exclusive detox safaris in East Africa
The deep immersion in the Mahogany trees, water activities and walking safari will transform your soul completely.
Bespoke safaris · Mindset Mentors
Set spectacularly against the steep, 600-metre drop of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a lush, vibrant contrast to the open plains of the North. It is a dense groundwater forest where troops of baboons forage among mahogany trees, and the alkaline lake shores shimmer with the pink hue of thousands of resident flamingos.
For the discerning traveller, this is the ultimate destination for sensory recalibration. Rather than rushing through in a few hours, we invite you to linger. Glide silently across the lake in a canoe, embark on a thrilling night game drive, and search the branches for Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions in absolute, unhurried privacy.
“To enter Manyara’s forest is to step into the lungs of the Great Rift Valley.”
