Lake Manyara National Park 3 Days/ 2 Nights Tanzania Safari

Lake Manyara National Park 3 Days/ 2 Nights Safari takes you to the discovery path to Lake Manyara National Park in Arusha Region, Tanzania. The majority of the land area of the park is a narrow strip running between the Gregory Rift wall to the west and Lake Manyara, an alkaline or soda-lake, to the east. It is famous for its population of flamingoes.

The Park derives its name from the Masai word "manyara," which is the name for the plant Euphorbia tirucalli. The Masai use this plant to grow livestock stockades. Eventually manyara will produce a stock proof hedge that is more durable than any made of cut thorn branches. There is a specimen of Euphorbia tirucalli at the entrance gate.

Despite the fact Lake Manyara National Park is only 330 square kilometers (127 square miles) in area—of which about 230 square kilometers (89 square miles) are lake—it contains a large variety of habitats: the rift wall, the ground water forest, acacia woodland, areas of open grassland, the lake shore, swamp, and the lake itself.

Due to the variety of habitats the Park is able to support a large number of species. Over 380 species of birds, some migratory, have been recorded in the Park.
