LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
Lake Manyara National Park is a small park at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment. The park centres around its shallow alkaline lake, which attracts thousands of pink flamingos between November and April, along with pink-backed pelicans, yellow-billed storks, grey herons and pods of hippo.
Surrounding the lake are plains, marshlands and acacia woodlands, home to tree-climbing lion. Giraffe and elephant can also be spotted across the grasslands, where herds of wildebeest, buffalo, and zebra graze.
