Lake Manyara National Park

Welcome to Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park, a beautiful gem nestled beneath the cliffs of the Great Rift Valley in northern Tanzania, offers a diverse and captivating safari experience. Famous for its tree-climbing lions, large flocks of flamingos, and stunning scenery, Lake Manyara provides a more compact and varied safari compared to some of Tanzania's larger parks. The park's namesake, Lake Manyara, a shallow alkaline lake, attracts a wealth of wildlife, particularly birds.

Lake Manyara is home to a remarkable array of animals, including its famous tree-climbing lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, hippos, and a variety of smaller mammals and primates. The park's diverse habitats, ranging from the lake itself to lush groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, and grasslands, support this rich biodiversity.
