Lake Manyara National Park

Discover the allure of Lake Manyara National Park: Tailor your dream Tanzanian safari adventure with us. Choose your sanctuary—luxurious lodges with stunning views of the shimmering lake or intimate tented camps surrounded by lush forests and abundant wildlife.

Overview

Tucked between the Rift Valley escarpment and its shimmering namesake, Lake Manyara National Park is a jewel of diverse habitats and stunning wildlife. Here, lush groundwater forests give way to open grasslands, where tree-climbing lions lounge in acacia branches and elephants wander gracefully through the shade. Along the lake’s edge, dazzling flocks of flamingos create a pink mirage against the sparkling waters.

Beyond the shores, Lake Manyara’s beauty unfolds in every direction. Troops of baboons and vervet monkeys thrive in the forests, while giraffes and zebras graze on the open plains. Overhead, vibrant kingfishers and pelicans glide through the air, completing the vibrant mosaic. This compact yet extraordinary park offers an intimate glimpse into the magic of East Africa’s wilderness.
