Woodcraving activities
Our 1-day Lake Manyara National Park safari package is designed to give visitors who have a free day the opportunity to take a game drive through the park. This 1-day safari is just what you need for a short but memorable safari experience in African wildlife. Packages for our 1-day safaris can be arranged to start in the town of Moshi/Arusha.
