Lake Manyara National ParkSize: 330 km², of which about two thirds of the surface area is the actual Lake itself. Location: 128 km west of Arusha. Lake Manyara National Park lies directly below the Great Rift Valley. Very unique is its wide variety of different trees. At the beginning of the park you'll experience a very scenic ground-water forest, which then gives way to an acacia forest with thick bush and grassland. The park is world famous for it's "tree lions" which have become accustomed to resting or sleeping up in the trees. Also to be found in the park area are large herds of buffalo, impala, baboon, as well as giraffe and, most of the time, elephants. To the delight of ornithologist enthusiasts, more than 400 different bird species are concentrated here. Another special attraction are the hot springs, called maji moto (hot water)in Kisuaheli.Back to overview
