Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is an absolute “must”, especially for bird lovers: Around 400 bird species are recorded here. On a bird safari, you can observe ibises, pelicans, cormorants and thousands of flamingos. There are also vultures, eagles, owls and hornbills, as well as numerous migratory birds during the winter. Birdwatching is particularly exciting during the waterfowl breeding season.

It’s not just the birdlife in Lake Manyara National Park that impresses with its diversity. Visitors are greeted by lush greenery as soon as they enter the park. In a dense forest with around thirty tree species, you will encounter baboons or tiara monkeys swinging from branch to branch. Behind this, the savannah spreads out, richly overgrown with acacia trees. Here you can spot lions climbing trees or have close encounters with elephants. The park is also home to giraffes, zebras, impalas and many other mammals.

Lake Manyara can evaporate during the dry season from July to October until only a few puddles remain. Even then, however, many an exciting spectacle can be observed in Lake Manyara National Park. For example, the huge herds of wildebeest that arrive here during the Great Migration.

When would you like to come? Lake Manyara National Park is also an ideal stopover on the way to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
