Lake Manyara National Park Stretching for 50km along the base of
the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting
extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”. The compact game-viewing
circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience.
Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400
species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might
reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Situated en route
to and from Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, Lake Manyara National Park
is a compact game park with no fewer than five different vegetation
zones and a vast variety of wildlife, making it a good, soft
introduction to the safari experience. It is excellent for
birdwatching and a good area to find elephant, flamingo,
as well as the potential excitement of spotting a
legendary Lake Manyara tree-climbing lion.
