Destination
Lake Manyara
A green strip of forest, flamingo-pink water and those famous tree-climbing lions — perfect for a gentle first day.
About Lake Manyara
A narrow, green strip between the Rift Valley escarpment and a soda lake, Manyara packs an extraordinary amount into a small area — groundwater forest, open floodplain, hot springs and flamingo-pink shallows.
It is famous for tree-climbing lions, though they are shy and never guaranteed. Even without them, the baboon troops, elephants in the forest and the view from the escarpment make for a beautiful half or full day.
Highlights
- Tree-climbing lions
- Flamingos on the lake
- Groundwater forest walk
