Tips & Advice

Lake Manyara National Park is a relatively small park, consisting of a shallow soda lake (covering two-thirds of the park) at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. Lake Manyara National Park’s varied shoreline contains a wide variety of landscape, including lush groundwater forests, a swampy fan delta, acacia woodlands and a small grassy plain. This varied habitat attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including one of Africa’s largest concentrations of elephants, the infamous tree climbing lions and large flocks of flamingos and birdlife.
