About Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park is a beautiful, compact park located in Tanzania’s northern circuit, at the edge of the Great Rift Valley. It is famous for its stunning lake, soda springs, lush forests, and scenic escarpments.
The park is home to large herds of elephants, baboons, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and hippos. It is also famous for tree-climbing lions and its vast birdlife — including flamingos that turn the lake pink during certain seasons.
Lake Manyara is ideal for a half-day or full-day safari, offering game drives, bird watching, and nature photography. Its accessibility and scenic beauty make it a favorite among travelers seeking a diverse wildlife experience in a compact area.
