Safari summary

Lake Manyara National Park, nestled between Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley in Tanzania, offers a condensed yet diverse safari experience. Here's a summary of its key features:

Unique Features:
It's renowned for its tree-climbing lions, a relatively rare sight.
The alkaline Lake Manyara itself attracts vast flocks of flamingos and a rich variety of other birdlife.
The park's diverse landscapes include groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, and grassy plains, all within a relatively small area.
Wildlife:
Home to large populations of elephants, buffalo, zebras, and particularly, large troops of baboons.
A paradise for birdwatchers, with over 400 bird species.
Scenery:
The dramatic backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment enhances the park's scenic beauty.
Activities:
Visitors can enjoy game drives, bird watching, and the unique canopy walkway experience.It's important to note that while you could spend three days solely in Lake Manyara National Park, many safari itineraries combine it with other nearby parks for a more diverse experience. Therefore, most "3-day" safaris including Lake Manyara will also feature visits to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park.
