Spectacular Lake Manyara: The park is dominated by the expansive and alkaline Lake Manyara, which covers two-thirds of the park’s area. The lake attracts vast flocks of flamingos and other waterbirds, creating a stunning visual spectacle. It’s a birdwatcher’s paradise with over 400 species recorded.

In addition to the famous tree-climbing lions, visitors can spot elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, and a variety of antelope species. The dense forests and open savannas also provide habitat for leopards, baboons, and numerous other mammals.
