Lake Manyara National Park
A Wildlife Paradise in the Great Rift Valley
Situated 75 miles (125 km) west of Arusha, Lake Manyara National Park is a breathtaking blend of ecosystems. Nestled between the towering cliffs of the Great Rift Valley and the vast expanse of Lake Manyara, which covers 70% of the park’s 205 square miles (330 square km), the park’s diverse landscapes include lush acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and the dramatic rift wall, each teeming with life.
One of the park’s most iconic attractions is the rare sight of tree-climbing lions, lazily perched on acacia branches. Wildlife abounds here, with large herds of buffalo, elephants, and giraffes roaming freely while impalas, playful monkeys, and mischievous baboons dart through the vegetation. Hippos cool off in the waters, and the skies are alive with pelicans and flocks of dazzling pink flamingos.
Visitors can experience a thrilling variety of wildlife and habitats in just a day, making Lake Manyara National Park a must-see destination for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
