Lake Manyara National Park

Safari Highlights:

Marvel at Lake Manyara, a small jewel surrounded by the walls of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Manyara has large herds of buffalo and elephant as well as giraffe, warthogs, lion and the elusive leopard.

Enter through a lush groundwater forest where baboons, vervet & blue monkeys abound; journey on into open woodlands, grasslands, swamps and the soda lake itself.

Wonder at this awesome lake which covers 200 sq. kms and is a sanctuary for over 400 species of birdlife, the most numerous being flamingo, pelican, sacred ibis, storks, Egyptian geese and cormorants. Spot shy dik-diks, mongoose and herds of impala together with Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions in the surrounding acacia woodland.

Appreciate spectacular birdlife and search for klipspringers on the rocks above the steaming, bubbling hot springs in the far south of the park.

Discover Lake Manyara National Park, located 80 miles west of Arusha and close to the ethnically diverse market town of Mto wa Mbu (Africat’s second home).

Experience the magic of Manyara, accessible all year round; the wet season months are best for bird watching, observing the waterfalls and canoeing. Other activities (outside the park) include cultural tours, mountain biking, abseiling and forest walks on the escarpment.

Enjoy the comfort of your nights on safari with AFRICAT, in Lodges & Camps, both within and outside the parks.  For following the great migration, we use mobile camps, which enable us to stay very close to the herds. During cultural tours you may camp in a village or spend a night in a local, traditional house.
