Lake Manyara National Park
Pink flamingos, groundwater forests and Manyara's famous tree-climbing lions.
Why Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara packs forest, lakeshore and Rift escarpment into one compact park, perfect as a half-day-stop on the way to the Serengeti.
The alkaline lake hosts seasonal flocks of flamingos, while the forest canopy hides Manyara's celebrated tree-climbing lions.
