A wonderful park on the north side of Lake Manyara. The lake is a shallow salt water lake that is home to tens of thousands of flamingos, countless pelicans and storks and a multitude of other birds. The more heavily forested areas of the park are home to elephants, baboons, etc. A great destination for avid birders.

Beautiful park can be visited on way to other parks. Forest setting encourages lions to settle in trees...many elephants, monkeys, Baboons.

Lake Manyara was my first ever visit to a safari trip in Africa. I did not know what to expect, but within moments of entering, I was welcomed by 100s of baboons, birds and a pair of elephants!

Over the course of the next 10 hours, I saw many changing landscapes: forestry, open plains, grasslands, swamplands and of course the lake itself. Each supported its own eco system and food chain and all were teeming with life.

There were so many types of birds, culminating with 100s of beautiful pink flamingoes. Likewise, the grazers were very well represented to plenty of zebra, gazelles and antelopes. And of course there were many giraffe and a few elephants and hippo's too! I was certainly not disappointed with the amount of animals that were always close by.

However, what I enjoyed most about Lake Manyara was the lake itself. It was an amazing scenic backdrop for life in the bush. All in all, Lake Manyara was the perfect introduction to Africa's wildlife and a perfect place to quickly learn and get ones bearings before moving onto the more famous Ngorogoro and Serengeti parks. Im certainly glad I did it first.

Lake Manyara is excellent for bird watching: kingfishers, African hornbills, ibises, helmeted guineafowls, grey crowned cranes, flamingoes, herons, etc. We've also seen lots of other interesting animals: chimps in a tamarind tree, blue monkeys, baboons, elephants, antelopes, Nile monitors, etc. Beware of tsetse flies: no panic is needed, but don't wear black of dark blue clothes, no short sleeves or trousers and use a strong insect repellent! In the rainy season, only a part of this park is accessible because of the high water level, so go to Lake Manyara during the dry season!

Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.

The compact game-viewing circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience.
