A scenic 330 km² park lying at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment in northern Tanzania. Two-thirds of the park is the shallow, alkaline Lake Manyara, a bird-lover’s paradise home to flamingos and over 350 other bird species. The diverse habitats (lake, floodplain, groundwater forest and acacia woodland) also harbor elephants, buffalos, giraffes and the park’s famous tree-climbing lions lounging in umbrella trees.
