Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is a small yet incredibly diverse gem in northern Tanzania. Spanning about 330 square kilometers, with nearly two-thirds covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, the park boasts a mosaic of habitats, including lush groundwater forests, open savannahs, and marshlands. This varied landscape supports a remarkable array of wildlife and bird species, making it a favorite for nature enthusiasts and safari-goers alike.

Renowned for its tree-climbing lions, pink-hued flamingos, and thriving populations of elephants, the park offers visitors an intimate and immersive wildlife experience. The scenery, complemented by the dramatic backdrop of the escarpment, creates a serene yet dynamic setting that is a photographer’s paradise.
