Lake Manyara National Park

Nestled at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a small gem known for its diverse landscapes. The park spans 325 square kilometers, featuring everything from its alkaline lake to dense woodlands and steep mountain sides. It’s famously known for its tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, and a spectacular array of birdlife. The contrast of the lush jungle-like forest against the backdrop of the stark Great Rift Valley wall makes Lake Manyara a visually stunning and ecologically diverse area.
