MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

A Diverse Tanzanian Gem

Manyara National Park is Nestled between Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, along the edge of the 400 meters deep Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park is a haven of biodiversity and stunning landscapes. This park is celebrated for its varied terrains, from the alkaline waters of Lake Manyara itself to dense rainforests bustling with monkeys and a plethora of bird species. Venture deeper to discover elephants roaming the woodlands and the famous Manyara hippo pool, where hippos can be seen indulging from dawn till dusk. This rich mosaic of habitats makes Lake Manyara a must-visit destination for any wildlife enthusiast.

When to Visit?

The ideal time to visit Lake Manyara National Park is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife viewing is at its best. Animals are easier to spot as they congregate around water sources, and the weather is pleasant for game drives. Another good period is from December to February, which offers clear skies and excellent opportunities for bird watching.
