A superb holiday tailored for those who want to see the best of northern Tanzania, but with more time to...
Lake Manyara National Park is a small park (330kmsq) set beneath the spectacular Rift valley escarpment and alongside the shallow alkaline Lake Manyara.
With open grassy flood plain that follows the lakeshore, thick acacia woodland and an extensive patch of groundwater forest, the park offers a diverse range of flora and fauna including elephant, buffalo, hippo and lion.
Lake Manyara is small and pretty, with some stunningly beautiful ancient forest and views across the lake itself. It’s a very pleasant drive, either to “kick-off” your game viewing in the region, or as a half day when travelling between Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Highlands.
Wildlife now moves freely again between Manyara and Tarangire, but within the park you might see baboon troops, antelope, often elephant and sometimes its famous ‘tree-climbing lion’.
Also fun for younger children is the ‘Manyara Walkway’, a suspended ladder walkway in the canopy of the trees.
For families with older children or couples, a 3 hour mountain bike trail can be enjoyed which takes you to the lakeshore.
