Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a compact but diverse gem. Famous for its tree-climbing lions, flamingo-lined lake shores, and dense groundwater forest, the park offers a unique contrast to Tanzania’s open savannahs.
Despite its small size, Lake Manyara boasts incredible biodiversity. It’s one of the best spots to see elephants up-close, and its lion population is known for lounging in trees.
Lake Manyara offers a diverse landscape—from the soda lake and acacia woodlands to its dramatic escarpment cliffs and lush jungle-like groundwater forests.
Ideal for day trips or the start of a longer safari, Lake Manyara offers a rich variety of landscapes and animals in a relatively short drive. Its compact size means wildlife viewing is intense and efficient.
The park borders villages involved in eco-tourism and conservation. Cultural tourism programs allow visitors to learn about local tribes and support sustainable development.
From treehouse-style lodges overlooking the forest to lake-view tented camps, Lake Manyara National Park has accommodations that blend comfort with nature.
