Safari summary

Lake Manyara National Park, though relatively small, offers a surprisingly diverse and unique safari experience. Here are some of its key highlights:

Tree-Climbing Lions: This is perhaps Lake Manyara's most famous attraction. While not seen every time, the chance to witness lions lounging in the branches of acacia trees is a rare and captivating sight.
Massive Flamingo Flocks: The alkaline Lake Manyara often hosts hundreds of thousands, sometimes even millions, of pink flamingos, creating a stunning spectacle of color along the shoreline.
Large Elephant Herds: The park boasts a high concentration of elephants, often seen in impressive numbers, especially near the underground water forests and during the dry season.
Diverse Birdlife: With over 400 recorded species, Lake Manyara is a birdwatcher's paradise. Expect to see a variety of waterbirds, raptors, and forest dwellers.
Scenic Beauty: Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park offers dramatic and picturesque landscapes, ranging from lush groundwater forests and acacia woodlands to open plains and the shimmering lake.
Large Baboon Troops: Lake Manyara is known for its exceptionally large troops of baboons, providing entertaining and frequent sightings.
