The Perfect Base for Wildlife and Exploration
Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, large elephant herds, and incredible birdlife — with more than 400 recorded species. Guided game drives with expert rangers bring guests close to this rich ecosystem, from flamingos feeding along the lakeshore to giraffes gliding through the acacia woodlands.
Moreover, adventure doesn’t stop at game drives. Guests can also enjoy guided forest walks, mountain biking, or canoeing on the calm lake waters for a fresh and exciting perspective of the park’s beauty.
