About Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park packs an extraordinary diversity of habitats into a narrow strip of land between the Rift Valley escarpment and the alkaline lake. Groundwater forest, acacia woodland, grassland, and the lake itself support a remarkable variety of wildlife in a compact area.
The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, which are regularly spotted resting in the branches of mahogany and acacia trees. The alkaline lake attracts vast flocks of flamingos when conditions are right, creating a pink-tinged spectacle against the dramatic backdrop of the Rift Valley wall. Manyara is also one of the few parks in Tanzania to offer night game drives, providing opportunities to spot nocturnal species like bush babies and leopards.
