Nestled at the foot of the Great Rift Valley escarpment in northern Tanzania, Lake Manyara National Park is a true hidden treasure — compact, but wildly diverse. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbors like Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Manyara delivers its own unique charm and unforgettable moments.

🐘 Why Visit Lake Manyara?

  1. Tree-Climbing Lions – Yes, you read that right! Unlike lions elsewhere, Manyara’s prides are known to climb trees during the heat of the day — a rare behavior that draws wildlife lovers and photographers from around the world.
  2. Flamingo-Filled Lake – The shallow, alkaline lake is often blanketed with thousands of pink flamingos, pelicans, and other birdlife — making it a birdwatcher’s paradise with over 400 species recorded.
  3. Elephants Up Close – The park’s thick groundwater forest is home to large elephant families, often seen crossing the road just meters from your safari vehicle.
  4. Diverse Ecosystems in One Day – From lush jungle to open savannah and the lake itself, it’s one of the few parks where you can experience multiple landscapes in a single drive.
