Nestled at the foot of the Great Rift Valley escarpment in northern Tanzania, Lake Manyara National Park is a breathtaking blend of lush groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and the shimmering alkaline lake itself. Though compact in size, it offers an incredibly diverse safari experience. This scenic park is a hidden gem for wildlife lovers and bird enthusiasts.

The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, vast flocks of flamingos, and the dramatic contrast between the escarpment wall and the lake below. It’s an ideal starting point or complement to a broader safari expedition including Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
