Lake Manyara National Park Tour Overview
Lake Manyara National Park is relatively small and the park can be traversed within a short period of time while viewing a considerable number of wildlife and bird life. The park is famous for Acacia Tortilis tree-climbing lions. Other animals frequently seen are leopards (also on trees), zebras, impalas, baboons, monkeys, wildebeests, giraffes, buffalos and elephants. Hippos can be seen either basking or submerged in the hippo pools near the forest.

 

The word Manyara comes from the Maa (language of the Masai) word referring to the Euphorbia Tirucalli tree plant used to creates hedges for the Masai cattle. The Tirucalli is preferred over tree branches by the Masai because of its resilience and long lasting characteristics.

 

The total size of Lake Manyara is 330 square kilometers out of which 230 square kilometers includes lake arena where water levels are constantly fluctuating. Lake Manyara's relatively small size is home to a favorable ecosystem, which includes varied bird, wildlife and vegetation species.

 

Lake Manyara gets supplied with water systems that gush out from the base of the Great Rift Valley. African Spice Safaris guests should note that unlike many of its sister lakes found in the Kenya's Rift Valley, an eastern wall does not cushion Lake Manyara; the land in this part of the Great Rift Valley is a soft depression.
