Lake Manyara National Park is a compact yet ecologically rich protected area in northern Tanzania, nestled between the sparkling alkaline waters of Lake Manyara and the steep Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park boasts a remarkable diversity of wildlife from tree-climbing lions and large elephant herds to over 350 bird species, including flocks of flamingos. Its landscape transitions from groundwater-fed forests at the escarpment’s base to open woodlands and marshes by the lake, offering dramatic scenery and excellent year-round wildlife viewing opportunities.
