Lake Manyara National Park sits below the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Its compact landscape brings together forest, woodland and the changing edge of a shallow alkaline lake. The variety of habitats gives a visit a different feel from the open plains.
Explore the park as part of a wider northern itinerary, with time to notice the forest and birds as well as larger wildlife. Lake levels and the areas accessible to visitors change with local conditions.
Best time to visit
The park changes with rainfall and lake levels. Choose dates around your wider northern route and particular wildlife interests.
