Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

Nestled in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, just 130 kilometers from Arusha, Lake Manyara National Park is a sanctuary of breathtaking beauty and ecological richness. This spectacular park forms part of the dramatic “Great Slenk,” a rift that stretches all the way from Syria to Mozambique. Framed by the Ngorongoro Highlands and sharing the region with lakes Eyasi and Natron, Lake Manyara is a destination that captivates the soul.
A mosaic of landscapes unfolds within the park: underground water forests teeming with life, open savannahs, swaying acacia woodlands, and the glimmering, alkaline lake itself—which, during the green season, covers nearly two-thirds of the park. With its lush diversity and year-round appeal, Lake Manyara offers something magical for every traveler.
