Lake Manyara National Park




Located 130km west of Arusha, Lake Manyara National Park is home to millions of flamingos, pelicans, storks and other bird life, as well as many hippos that can be observed at close range. It is nestled at the base of the East African Rift Valley escarpment with large expanses of thick forest, woodland, grassland and swamps. Aside from the flamingos, Lake Manyara Park is also home to the famous tree-climbing lions, baboon, buffalo, zebra, hippo, giraffe and wildebeests. The best time for game viewing is during the dry season between July and October; and bird-watching as well as canoeing are perfect activities in the area during the wet season from November to mid June.
