The park’s diverse ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, and savannahs

Nestled between the towering cliffs of the Great Rift Valley and the tranquil waters of Lake Manyara, this park offers one of the most scenic and diverse safari experiences in northern Tanzania. Though relatively small at 325 square kilometers, Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, large flocks of flamingos, and over 400 bird species. The park’s ecosystems range from groundwater forests and swamps to open savannah, providing a diverse habitat for wildlife. Its accessibility from Arusha makes it a popular stop on the northern safari circuit, especially for those seeking an immersive yet compact wildlife adventure.
