A compact park of groundwater forest, soda lake and the sheer wall of the Great Rift.
About Lake Manyara National Park
Forest, lake and Rift wall
Northern Tanzania, beneath the Rift Valley escarpment
Manyara packs remarkable variety into a small area: groundwater forest flourishes at the foot of the cliffs, then gives way to open floodplain and a shallow soda lake fringed pink with flamingos, all beneath the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment.
It is famous for its tree-climbing lions and large baboon troops, and offers night drives, canoeing and Tanzania's first treetop walkway.
