Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara Wildlife

Here are some of our favorite things about Lake Manyara National Park.

Manyara National Park is a sanctuary for hippo, giraffe, impala and zebra, and its lake a magnet for birdlife, including sizeable flocks of pink flamingos.

Mahogany and sausage trees are alive with blue and vervet monkeys; elephants feed on fallen fruit, and bushbuck, baboons and leopard make their homes in the forest. Manyara's most famous residents are its tree-climbing lions, although these are more difficult to see nowadays.

Watching Animals in Lake Manyara Park is good year around but the best time is from late June to October during the dry season but this is very beautiful and scenic Park during the wet season from November to May when the vegetation are green and lush and waterfalls cascade down the escarpment.
