Lake Manyara Park, is located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley. Lake Manyara National Park offers varied ecosystems, incredible birdlife, and breathtaking views. In contrast with the intimacy of the forest, is the grassy floodplain, across the alkaline lake, to the jagged blue volcanic peaks that rise from the endless Masai Steppes. Large buffalo, wildebeest, and zebra herds and giraffes congregate on these grassy plains. Squadrons of banded mongoose dart between the acacias, whereas the diminutive Kirk’s dik-dik forage in their shade.

Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and any visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day.
