Lake Manyara National Park, Tansania

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.
