lake manyara national park |
|
Lake Manyara National Park is known for its breathtaking panoramic views. Its beauty lies in its diversity |
|
|
including vast wildlife, open grasslands, forests and the water of Lake Manyara. The extensive marshlands |
|
|
attract a variety of birds including pelicans and flamingos. |
|
|
Sometimes the lions in Lake Manyara National Park can be found relaxing in the branches of the trees to |
|
|
escape the bothersome tsetse flies. Described by Hemingway in the "Green Hills of Africa", this once prime |
|
|
hunting ground is today a national park of unsurpassed beauty. |
|
|
Lying on the floor of the Eastern Rift Valley, Lake Manyara spreads out in a shallow depression starkly |
|
|
dominating the scene and standing out against a backdrop of the sheer red cliff of the western |
|
|
escarpment. One enters Manyara from the village of Mto wa Mbu or 'Mosquito Creek' - the only place in |
|
| Africa where one can hear the four major language groups. | |
| The entrance of Manyara Park is dominated by a rich ground water forest. Here elephants feed on the | |
| fallen wild fig and blue monkey, velvet, baboon, bushbuck, waterbuck nocturnal aardvark, civet, pangolin | |
| and leopard can be seen. Buffalo and hippo wallow in the nearby Hippo Pool where most of the park's 380 | |
| species of birdlife can be spotted. The vegetation eventually merges into flat topped acacia woodland | |
| where, in the heat of the day entire prides of lion can be seen stretched on the branches of these trees - a | |
| habit endemic to Manyara lions. Along with these amazing tree-climbing lions there are the usual browsers | |
| and grazers as well as the interestingbanded mongoose. Two thirds of the park is dominated by the | |
| slightly alkaline lake which is home to a seemingly endless variety of waterbirds. | |
|
Bordered by the Great
Rift Valley this park is famous for its tree climbing lions and hot
