Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara National Park offers a diverse safari experience, featuring stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife. The park's centerpiece is its seasonal alkaline lake, surrounded by lush vegetation and home to a wide range of animals. Visitors can enjoy traditional game drives year-round and canoeing during the wet season. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a unique phenomenon found only here, where lions rest in acacia trees. It’s also home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and cape buffaloes, along with lesser-known species like Kirk’s dik-dik and klipspringer.
Renowned for its beauty, Lake Manyara was called the “loveliest” park in Africa by Ernest Hemingway and is an excellent starting or ending point for Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. Whether observing flamingos or the rare sight of tree-climbing lions, Lake Manyara promises an unforgettable safari experience immersed in Tanzania’s natural wonders.
