Safaris Lake Manyara Park

Lake Manyara is nestled beneath the shadow of the Great Rift Valley’s breathtaking western bluffs. The park is little more than a narrow strip of land, yet it protects the area between Lake Manyara and its sheltering bluffs. The lake from which the park derives its name is shallow and alkaline, from the wet to the dry seasons its body expands and contracts within its bed of shimmery salt remnants. Bordering the lake are vast grassy floodplains, while off in the distance groups of varying Acacia Woodlands can be seen. Scattered along the bluffs, small groups of flawless evergreen forests grow, nurtured by the ever present springs, at the base of the bluff.
