The park offers a great view of the 400-meter-deep Great Rift Valley. This tear in the earth came into existence 22 to 25 million years ago, when movement in a weak area of the earth’s crust led to the formation of a rift thousands of kilometers long through the whole of East Africa. The valley is so enormous that it can be seen from outer space. It has many unique landscapes that attract a vast number of different animals. Besides being home to Lake Manyara itself, you can also find dense rainforest here with hundreds of groups of monkeys and a huge number of birds.
