Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park with its groundwater forests, bush plains, baobab-strewn cliffs, and algae-streaked hot springs provide incredible ecological variety in a small area, as well as a plethora of wildlife and birds.

Lake Manyara’s alkaline soda is home to a diverse range of bird life that thrives in its brackish waters. Thousands of pink flamingos stoop and graze on colorful specks against the lake’s grey minerals. Herons flap their wings against the sun-drenched sky, and yellow-billed storks swoop and corkscrew on thermal winds rising up from the escarpment. Even the most averse bird watchers will find something to admire in the national park.

Another reason to visit this park is to see the famous tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara. During the rainy season, they live in the ancient mahogany and elegant acacias, which are the only species of their kind on the planet.
