Lake Manyara National Park is a compact gem nestled along the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Renowned for its tree-climbing lions and pink-hued flamingos, the park also offers diverse ecosystems, including groundwater forests, open plains, and hot springs. Visitors can enjoy birdwatching, guided walks, and canoeing on the lake. Its small size makes it ideal for a day visit or as part of a larger northern circuit itinerary.
