Lake Manyara National Park

The Lake Manyara National Park is a spectacular region of the Great Rift Valley. The 330 sq. km area contains the 230 sq. km lake, as well as wetland forest, acacia woodland and open grassland. Elephant, Cape buffalo, giraffe, impala and zebra roam the plains of Mahali Pa Nyati, and frequent the waters of the lake and the Simba River, which are teeming with hippo. The forests of the region are teeming with blue monkeys, vervets, baboons, waterbuck, bushbuck, aardvark, pangolin, leopard and black rhino. The area is also home to the famous tree-climbing lions.
