Nestled at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, Manyara National Park is a diverse ecosystem with lush groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, and the expansive Lake Manyara. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a rare behavior that sets them apart from other lion populations in Africa. The alkaline lake is a haven for flamingos, pelicans, and other waterfowl, making it a popular spot for birdwatching. Elephants, hippos, and a variety of herbivores can be seen throughout the park. Manyara’s compact size and rich biodiversity offer a unique and accessible safari experience for visitors.
