About Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is one of Tanzania's most scenic and diverse parks, offering a unique mix of landscapes and wildlife in a compact 330 square kilometers. The park is framed by the dramatic western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley and centered on the shimmering alkaline lake itself.

Famous for its tree-climbing lions, Manyara delivers exceptional game viewing โ€” elephants, giraffes, hippos and huge flocks of flamingos โ€” along with more than 400 bird species in its groundwater forest and open savanna. It is the perfect first stop on the northern safari circuit.
