Lake Manyara National Park
Lake
Manyara was once a famous hunting ground, now it is one of Tanzania's most
attractive sanctuaries. Nestling into the steep Rift Valley wall, this shallow
alkaline lake is surrounded by ancient Baobab trees, ground water forest of fig
and mahogany and open grasslands. A wealth of surprisingly varied vegetation
sustains a wealth of wildlife, nourished by chattering streams bubbling out of the
escarpment base and waterfalls spilling over the cliff. Deep in the south of
the park, hot springs bubble to the surface in the shadow of the escarpment.
Hippo wallows near the lake's borders of sedge. Two famous spectacles in Lake
Manyara National Park are the tree-climbing lions, which spend most of the day
spread out along the branches of acacia trees six to seven meters above ground,
and tree climbing pythons. Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley
escarpment the park is noted for its incredible beauty. As visitors enter the
gate they pass into the lush forest, home to troops of baboons and blue
monkeys. Further along, the forest opens up to the woodlands, grassland, swamps
and beyond, the soda lake itself, covering 390 sq km and sanctuary to over 400
species of bird including flamingo, pelican, storks, sacred ibis, cormorants
and Egyptian geese. The park is particularly noted for its huge herds of
buffaloes and elephants. Also represented here are giraffe, impala, hippo and a
great variety of smaller animals.
