See what is happening in Lake Manyara: Lake Manyara Safari will provide you with the best safari experience you’ve ever had by engaging in various activities while viewing various species of animals that call Lake Manyara home. Manyara is sometimes disregarded as a safari location because it is sandwiched between Tarangire National Park and the well-known Ngorongoro Conservation Area, followed by the renowned Serengeti. In terms of national parks in Africa, it is undoubtedly one of the smallest ones at 330 square kilometers, of which more than half are frequently inundated with water. Nevertheless, here are some reasons why we think a Tanzania safari to Lake Manyara National Park is worthwhile.
Observe numerous elephants: Many elephants live in Lake Manyara, just like in the nearby Tarangire National Park. The high groundwater levels that sustain the acacia woodlands and evergreen forests are home to the gentle giants. Elephants have plenty of places to feed because of the lush, dense foliage.

While on safari, take advantage of the opportunity to get out of the vehicle: While leaving your car alone in other national parks is risky and against the law, you are allowed to do so in Lake Manyara. Take the “Treetop Walkway” to wander among the treetops while keeping an eye out for monkeys and birds. You’ll travel with and learn from a local guide. Walking through the treetops is a terrific way to get out of the car and experience the sights, sounds, and colors of your environment, even though encountering wildlife isn’t guaranteed.
Look for tree-climbing lions: Only two prides of lions on the continent were previously known to climb trees, making tree-climbing lions an extremely rare sight. One pride is in our own Lake Manyara National Park, while the other is in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park. It is still a thrilling sight to see tree-climbing lions, even if you can now see them in the Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks.
Observe flamingos flying: In the African bush, water is vital, and the soda lake offers a haven for a wide variety of creatures. Along with several antelope species, Lake Manyara has an amazing birdlife. The lake and its neighboring wetlands are home to colorful flamingos and proud pelicans. Hippos can also be seen in great numbers in the shallow waters of Lake Manyara.
Lake Manyara National Park, despite being smaller, has a unique beauty: Due to its abundant biodiversity and rich and lush aquatic scenery, it stands out from its well-known neighboring countries. The convenience of Lake Manyara as a day trip destination from Arusha means fewer safari vehicles allow you to fully enjoy your time in this serene park in Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, especially in the early morning hours.
