Lake Manyara National Park

The Home of Tree-Climbing Lions

Lake Manyara National Park is a compact yet incredibly diverse safari destination located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment in northern Tanzania. Despite its small size, the park offers a wide range of landscapes, from lush groundwater forests and open savannahs to acacia woodlands and the shallow alkaline lake that covers much of the park floor.

The park is best known for its famous tree-climbing lions, which can often be seen resting in acacia branches. It is also home to large herds of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos, and a rich variety of birdlife, including flamingos, pelicans, and storks. The changing scenery and dense wildlife make every game drive full of surprises.

With dramatic escarpment views, beautiful forests, and the peaceful lakeshore, Lake Manyara offers a perfect introduction to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit and a refreshing contrast to the open plains of the Serengeti.

BEST TIME TO GO

Lake Manyara National Park can be visited all year round, but the best time is during the dry season from June to October, when animals gather near water sources and are easier to spot. The green season from November to May transforms the park into a lush paradise with excellent birdwatching and fewer crowds. We advise visiting between June and October for the best game viewing and road conditions.

This abundance of young animals draws large numbers of predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, creating some of the most exciting wildlife viewing in Africa. The dramatic interaction between predator and prey makes Ndutu one of the most action-packed safari destinations.
