A Scenic Safari Gem at the Rift Valley’s Edge

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a compact yet incredibly diverse wildlife haven. Known for its lush groundwater forests, open plains, and the shimmering alkaline lake that gives the park its name, Manyara offers a safari experience rich in both scenery and wildlife.

Covering approximately 330 square kilometers, the park is famed for its tree-climbing lions, a rare behavior that makes sightings especially memorable. The park is also home to large herds of elephants, buffaloes, hippos, giraffes, zebras, and warthogs, as well as a wide variety of monkeys including baboons and blue monkeys.

Bird enthusiasts will find Lake Manyara a paradise — with over 400 recorded bird species, including flamingos, pelicans, storks, and countless waterbirds that flock to the lake’s shores.
