LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

Lake Manyara National Park stands out as a sought-after destination, renowned for its awe-inspiring landscapes, a vast soda lake teeming with flamingos, and an impressive array of bird species. Traverse the park to encounter expansive troops of baboons amid lush forests, witness herds of elephants, and with a stroke of luck, catch a glimpse of lions adept at climbing trees. Along the soda lake, diverse wildlife awaits, including buffaloes, warthogs, giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras. The shallow Hippo Pool offers exceptional opportunities to observe hippos engaging in mud baths and seeking refuge from the scorching sun.

The RIFT VALLEY ESCARPMENT

The Rift Valley Escarpment further enhances the allure of Lake Manyara, providing a perfect vantage point to marvel at the majestic 400-meter-high Rift Valley Escarpment. This geological wonder, part of the Great Rift Valley that stretches along the eastern side of Africa, came into existence 20 to 25 million years ago when the earth's crust split apart. Visible even from outer space, the Rift Valley resembles two distinctive lines running down Africa. It offers a tapestry of unique habitats, including acacia woodland, jungle forests, mountain cliffs, hot springs, and vast grassy areas, in addition to the expansive soda lake.
