Lake Manyara Lodges

The Ultimate Guide To The Best Lodges And Camps In Tanzania's Lake Manyara National Park

Ernest Hemingway called Lake Manyara "the loveliest lake in Africa", and we can say, hand on heart, he was not that far wrong.

Lake Manyara National Park, a small park (in comparison with other parks within Tanzania) that can be traversed within a few hours but enjoys a diverse environment and nothing short of spectacular wildlife and birdlife. With habitats ranging from the rift wall, groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, grasslands, and the shore of the soda lake known as Lake Manyara.

Lake Manyara National Park is one of those safari destinations worth visiting, especially for the wildlife and scenic photographic opportunities that abound. Lake Manyara is perfectly paired with the Ngorongoro Conservancy, The Serengeti National Park and the Tarangire National Park in what is known as Tanzania's northern safari circuit.

Lake Manyara is famed for its flamingo, rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, hippo, elephant and zebra sightings, and now add in the backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment with groundwater forests, acacia woodlands, grasslands and the shore of the soda lake. Lake Manyara National Park is a photographer's paradise and has to be added to all safari itineraries, including Tanzania.

Safari activities around Lake Manyara on offer include; game drives, night drives (lodge dependant), walking excursions, Lake Manyara birding safaris, photographic tours, and cultural, village visits and local school tours.
