Lake Manyara is home to Tanzania’s tree-climbing lions who can be seen resting in large acacias to escape the arid heat, however spotting them is a game of luck. But apart from simply being a tree-climbing lion sanctuary, it also boasts an array of habits and other life forms, including countless of flamingos that often flock to the soda ash lake. During certain seasons, you can see the shoreline turning pink with millions of these beautiful birds flocking it.
As you enter the park, the lush forests of Acacia and Mahogany trees begin to set the mood for what is waiting ahead. The park is also home to one of the highest olive baboon populations anywhere in Africa, as well as over 350 different avian species.
