Lake Manyara National Park is part of Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit, the top game viewing region in this game-rich East African country. Our 2-day Tanzania luxury flying safari is an overnight wildlife trip to Lake Manyara National Park located just northwest of Tarangire Park and to the southeast of the nearby Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. 

The park is located 1.5 hours (126 km/ 80 miles) west of Arusha close to the ethnically diverse market town of Mto wa Mbu. The Highlights of Lake Manyara National Park include;

* Tree climbing lions and massive elephant herds
* Shallow Rift Valley Lake stretching through the park
* Diverse birdlife – thousands of flamingos, water birds, and other migratory species
* Stunning scenic setting – described by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”

In addition to the tree-climbing lions and big elephant herds that Manyara is famous for, the park is also home to an abundance of hippos, as well as plenty of buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest.

Lion, leopard, rhino, and giraffe inhabit the park, along with bushbuck, impala, and warthog. Manyara National Park also hosts great numbers of baboons and monkeys, as well as banded mongoose and klipspringers.

With over 400 recorded bird species found in Lake Manyara National Park, a visit to the park provides a great overview of the birdlife in Tanzania. Bird species include numerous water birds, especially the flocks of pink flamingos, found in the thousands fringing the shallow Lake Manyara.

Other water birds also flock to the park, among them pelicans, cormorants, and storks. Hornbill, Spoonbill, Egyptian Goose, White Faced Duck, Red-Billed Quelea, Long-crested Eagle, Grey-headed Kingfisher, and Sacred Ibis are also found in Lake Manyara National Park.

Activities in Lake Manyara Park include Game drives, night game drives, and canoeing when the water levels are high enough, cultural tours to the nearby Mto wa Mbu, an ethnically diverse market town, bush dining, mountain biking, abseiling, and forest walks in the vicinity of the park.
