Discover the thrill of exclusive experiences at Lake Manyara National Park and surrounding areas. This is one of the rare places in northern Tanzania where visitors can embark on night game drives and exhilarating canoe safaris. These unique opportunities allow you to get closer to the wildlife and nature, creating unforgettable memories.

With diverse landscapes, Lake Manyara National Park provides a compact safari experience that allows visitors to see various wildlife dramas, from vibrant flamingos to fearsome lions.

Named after a seasonal alkaline lake at its heart, Lake Manyara National Park is the best place for canoeing safaris in the wet season and traditional game drives year-round. Ernest Hemingway labeled it “the loveliest I have seen in Africa.” Lake Manyara is a perfect starting or finishing point for the northern circuit safari adventure.

In addition to its massive flamingo population, Lake Manyara is most famed for the tree-climbing lions who call this park home. Tree-climbing lions can be found in very few African parks and nowhere else in Tanzania; these agile predators cut a prominent figure as they lounge lazily in acacia trees.

Also, among the wild animals that reside at Lake Manyara National Park are Africa’s most iconic wild animals, such as wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and cape buffalo, as well as the less famed but no less fascinating Kirk’s dik-dik and klipspringer.
