Tanzania's Hidden Oasis!

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a small but stunning park (about 330 square kilometers) famous for its breathtaking scenery and rich diversity of wildlife. Its centerpiece is the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara, which covers two-thirds of the park and attracts thousands of flamingos and other water birds.

A Wildlife Wonderland:
Lake Manyara is home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, and hippos. It's also known for its unique tree-climbing lions — a rare sight that makes the park truly special.

Birdwatcher's Paradise:
With over 400 recorded species, this park is a bird lover's dream. From flocks of pink flamingos along the lake shore to pelicans, storks, and fish eagles, Lake Manyara offers endless birdwatching opportunities.
