Lake Manyara National Park is a particularly memorable place to visit.
Located within a long, narrow corridor formed by the looming cliffs of the Great Rift Valley escarpment and the shores of a stunning lake, The Park offers enormous topographical variety and abundant wildlife for its relatively manageable range of 330 square kilometres, making it ideal for a day trip.
On the plains, one can see giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, ostrich, elephant, bushbuck, aardvarks and the occasional leopard, while the lake attracts over 380 species of birds such as flamingos, pelicans, storks, cormorants, Egyptian geese, and spur-winged geese.
In contrast to the wide-open grasslands of the park centre the ground water forests of tamarind, mahogany, and fig in the north teem with monkeys while elephants can often be seen on the slope of the escarpment amongst the baobab trees. In the acacia woodland, lions can be seen lazily sprawled out on the stout branches of the umbrella trees, while enormous hippos cool themselves in the pools along the lake shore.
Escarpment Luxury Lodge nestles along a rift wall at high altitude, offering a magnificent view of the lake.
