Introduction to Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara has famously been crowned as a unique destination known for its tree-climbing lions.

You may have seen the photos online, but this isn’t a daily occurrence. They are difficult to see, and no tour operator can guarantee you will witness this peculiar behavior.

Absolutely! The park offers so much adventure that you would have to stay a lifetime to experience it all. Not to mention the amazing wildlife!

A few activities that Lake Manyara offers that many other parks do not include; Night Game Drives, Hot Spring Tours, Treetop Walkways, Cultural Village Tours, Hippo Pool Viewpoints, and a canoeing experience, which you can’t find in other Northern Circuit parks. We told you there was a lot!

Kilimanjaro National Park houses many fascinating, beautiful, unique animals. The wildlife found at the park includes elephants, Cape buffaloes, giraffes, black rhinos, leopards, and servals.

In addition, the park also has hyenas, several baboon species, monkeys, aardvarks, antelopes, and many others. However, you can’t spot the Big Five here.

So, if you want to see the famous Big Five and other big games, we recommend you visit other major parks in Tanzania, like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire.

The park was initially established to protect elephants from rampant poaching activities. This effort has increased the number of elephants and other fascinating wildlife in the park.

Due to the location of Lake Manyara and how hot it can get, mosquitoes are often found throughout the park.

Most accommodation options will supply a Mosquito net as a preventative measure. We also recommend bringing your mosquito repellent.

When visiting Lake Manyara, it’s best to protect yourself against malaria using an insect repellent, ideally one with DEET.

Lake Manyara is a special place where you can witness flamingoes co-existing with Hippos in the lake itself.

Hippos are a popular sighting in Lake Manyara and are often mistaken for large rocks as they relax in the nearby waters.

Listen out for laughing noises as these vocal beasts can be heard chuckling away.
