Lake Manyara National Park
Overview
Tucked beneath the dramatic escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem offering a highly diverse, compact safari experience. The park transitions quickly from lush groundwater forests, home to troops of baboons and legendary tree-climbing lions, to the expansive alkaline lake that frequently shimmers pink with thousands of flamingos.
