Experience Manyara National Park & Lake Manyara: Nature's Twin Wonders

Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment in Tanzania, is renowned for its spectacular scenery and diverse wildlife. Established in 1960, the park encompasses a variety of habitats, including the alkaline Lake Manyara, which attracts flamingos and other water birds throughout the year.

When to Visit?

However, the park can be visited year-round, with each season offering its own unique experiences, from birdwatching during the wet season to game drives in the dry season.
