Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara is renowned for its captivating beauty, making it one of the busiest parks in Northern Tanzania. "Manyara" is derived from the Maasai word "Emanyara," which is a plant found in the area and used by the Maasai to build living fences. Covering an impressive 325 sq km, Lake Manyara is a haven for over 350 bird species, including the striking pink flamingos. The lush vegetation provides a perfect habitat for hippos, zebras, giraffes, baboons, and unique tree-climbing lions. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, including game drives, walking safaris, and birdwatching tours to observe the diverse wildlife and birdlife.
It's a common sight to see thousands of pink lesser flamingos dotting the shallow waters of the lake while hippos bask in deeper waters with egrets resting on their backs. For bird enthusiasts, Lake Manyara is a symphony of calls and colors. Pelicans glide gracefully, their wingspan casting shadows on the water. Herons stand sentinel, their long necks poised for action. Marabou storks, with their solemn expressions, survey the scene like ancient sages. And the African fish eagles? They soar above, eyes sharp, ready to seize their aquatic prey.
