Why Visit Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara National Park was established to preserve its diverse ecosystems and wildlife in the northern region of Tanzania near Arusha. The park spans a vast area encompassing two-thirds of a shallow alkaline lake called Lake Manyara. This serene lake is renowned for its breathtaking flocks of greater and lesser pink flamingos. During the wet season, from November to April, the lake’s flamingo population swells, painting the entire environment a stunning shade of pink.
The park boasts numerous water birds, such as pelican, stork, and heron. The marshes surrounding the lake are also a haven for hippo, who can be seen wallowing in the mud. Lake Manyara National Park has various habitats, including grassy savannahs, acacia woodlands, and dense forests. You can spot elusive tree-climbing lion, majestic elephant with long tusks, graceful giraffe, buffalo, zebra and wildebeest. The easily accessible Lake Manyara National Park offers unparalleled beauty and irresistible charm.
