Overview

Explore the diverse ecosystems of Lake Manyara National Park in just one day. From the moment you enter the park’s lush groundwater forest, you’ll be greeted by troops of baboons and blue monkeys swinging through the ancient mahogany trees. As you venture deeper, the forest opens up to grassy floodplains where buffalo, wildebeest, and zebra graze peacefully.

The park’s famous tree-climbing lions might make an appearance, lounging on acacia branches. The alkaline lake itself attracts thousands of flamingos during the wet season, creating a stunning pink horizon against the backdrop of the Great Rift Valley escarpment
