Lake Manyara National Park Game Drive

Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania

About this experience

Lake Manyara National Park sits beneath the Rift Valley escarpment, with groundwater forest, open floodplains and a shallow soda lake. Game drives offer opportunities to see elephant, giraffe, buffalo, baboon troops and a wide variety of birds.

The park is known for lions that sometimes rest in trees, though sightings are rare. Its compact size makes it an easy half-day between Arusha, Tarangire and Ngorongoro.
