Wildlife at Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is well known for the tree climbing lions, the soda ash lake, its flamingos and the breathtaking scenery. While the scenic beauty of this park certainly makes it worth a visit, the game viewing here pales into insignificance when compared with that on offer in Tarangire, the Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.

Often visited for an afternoon game drive on the way to Ngorongoro, it would be a shame to miss out Manyara if you're driving straight past it - but it's really not up there with the heavyweight big boys in terms of game viewing.
