Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park, located in Tanzania’s northern region, is renowned for its stunning scenery and rich biodiversity. The park stretches along the shores of Lake Manyara, a shallow alkaline lake that attracts a vibrant array of wildlife, including large flocks of flamingos, hippos, and elephants. This UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve is characterized by its diverse ecosystems, ranging from lush groundwater forests and acacia woodlands to open grasslands and the shimmering lake itself. Visitors can explore this beautiful park through game drives, birdwatching, or guided walks, providing ample opportunities to experience its natural beauty up close.

One of Lake Manyara’s unique features is its famous tree-climbing lions, which are often seen lounging on the branches of acacia trees. The park is also home to a variety of other wildlife, including zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and over 400 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
