Lake Manyara National Park is a small park, but it is good and contains a very  decent range of habitats, creatures, and particularly birds. It has an approximate surface area of 330 km2, of which 66% is submerged. Visitors to safaris flock to this park to get the whole Tanzania safari tour experience.

The Lake Manyara National Park, which offers amazing amusement viewing and birding, is located beneath the Manyara Escarpment’s cliffs at the edge of the Rift Valley. The environment is so varied that the warm-blooded animal and bird records there are arguably the best in Tanzania Safari. A sizeable portion of the lake and its shoreline are included in the park, as well as large areas of ground-water wilderness with fig and mahogany trees trading places with an acacia forest and open marshlands.

Lake Manyara National Park offers a variety of settings, breathtaking views, and an unfathomable biological variety in a small area that is abundant in species and astonishing numbers of birds. Bison and wildebeest, giraffe, zebra, warthog, impala, Kirk’s dik, waterbuck close to some of the springs, and klipspringer on the slopes of the escarpment are all included in Lake Manyara’s diversions. The Park is well-known for its tree-climbing lions and has a sizable population of elephants. 

The enormous troop sizes of primates, which are frequently in the hundreds and are typically thought to be Africa’s largest, are obvious. The park provides Tanzania’s birdlife with the perfect introduction. Over 400 different species of birds have been identified in the soluble soft drink of Lake Manyara, which is home to an inconceivable variety of wildlife. Along with other large water birds including pelicans, cormorants, herons, egrets, stilts, stalks, spoonbills, and yellow-billed storks, they include a significant number of pink-toned flamingos.

AT LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK, HEALTH & SAFETY

As we would like to believe, travelling to and through Lake Manyara National Park is done safely, as is the case with most parks.

Malaria is a health risk, therefore using insect repellent with at least 30% DEET is essential. It’s also a good idea to cover any exposed skin at night. You should seriously think about being vaccinated against malaria as well.

LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK FOOD

The culinary spread is often seasoned and advanced with the intriguing dishes and rarities because it serves as a host to many different clans. In any case, there is the traditional ugali, which is made of cassava or maize flour and served with a small amount of meat, a fine sauce, or sukuma wiki. Mishikaki (meat kebabs that are flame-grilled and marinated) and Nyama Choma (grilled beef) to enjoy.

To begin any conversation, smile and say “Jambo!” in a cheerful manner. In many cases, learning a few Swahili words in Tanzanian language will help break the ice.

The best time to visit Tanzania is in the summer (June to September), when temperatures are at their coolest and many hotels and lodges are highly crowded, especially in July and August.
