Lake Manyara

A scenic mosaic of groundwater forests, grassy plains, and alkaline waters.

The Pink Horizon

Ernest Hemingway once described Lake Manyara as the loveliest he had seen in Africa. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is a sanctuary for birdwatchers and elephant lovers alike. Whether you are searching for the elusive tree-climbing lions or canoeing past hippos in the shallow waters, Manyara offers a tranquil and visually stunning start to any Tanzanian journey.
