The cool morning sun enhances the wild atmosphere, making it a perfect time to appreciate every small creature you come across.

After lunch, take some time to unwind and rejuvenate. You deserve it after a morning filled with adventurous activities.

If you think you've seen all the animals during the day, think again! Venturing into a tour after dark is truly a life-changing experience. You won't believe how many wild creatures come alive at night, especially the predators. It's the perfect opportunity to spot some incredible animals and immerse yourself in the magnificent African sky within the wilderness.

Not all parks allow night game drives, so make sure you don't miss out on this amazing experience in Lake Manyara National Park.

Once you're done, you can return and relax at the cozy Manyara Green Camp for the night.
