Day 1 – BEIRUT , ARUSHA, TANZANIA.
Welcome to Africa! Look forward to a journey through majestic, unspoiled landscapes to fabulous game reserves where the Dark Continent's incomparable wildlife is protected in its natural habitat.

Arusha Town is located exactly halfway between Cairo and Cape Town and your hotel tonight is the Arusha Coffee Lodge situated in the midst of one of the coffee plantations. (D)

Day 2 ARUSHA-LAKE MANYARA.
[Sun.] This morning, drive to Lake Manyara Serena Lodge, perched on the edge of the Rift Valley with fantastic views of LAKE MANYARA below. After lunch, take an afternoon game drive in this small but attractive park, squeezed between the lake and the steep rim of the Rift Valley. Its most striking feature is a dense forest populated by baboon, impalas, giraffes, elephants and a myriad of other creatures. With luck you will shoot a picture of a tree climbing lion, then view the Simba River, populated by hippos and bird life. [FB,L,D]
