Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley in northern Tanzania, is a scenic gem known for its diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife. The park is centered around the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara, which attracts flocks of flamingos and a variety of other bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers. Famous for its tree-climbing lions, the park is also home to elephants, hippos, giraffes, and troops of playful baboons. The lush groundwater forests, open grasslands, and hot springs create a striking contrast of habitats within the park’s compact area.
