Though compact, Lake Manyara National Park is rich in biodiversity, with habitats ranging from acacia and groundwater forests to swamps and the iconic soda lake. Known for the world’s highest concentration of baboons, the park is also home to tree-climbing lions and abundant bird species, including hornbills, flamingos, and trogons. The park’s central lake attracts a colorful array of water birds, making it a favorite among bird watchers. Visitors can enjoy beautiful views across the lake to the towering cliffs of the Great Rift Valley. A network of roads provides easy access, allowing you to get close to elephants and other wildlife amidst scenic backdrops.
