Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara was once a famous
hunting ground, now it is one of Tanzania's most attractive sanctuaries.
Nestling into the steep Rift Valley wall, this shallow alkaline lake is
surrounded by ancient Baobab trees, ground water forest of fig and mahogany and
open grasslands. A wealth of surprisingly varied vegetation sustains a wealth
of wildlife, nourished by chattering streams bubbling out of the escarpment
base and waterfalls spilling over the cliff. Deep in the south of the park, hot
springs bubble to the surface in the shadow of the escarpment. Hippo wallows
near the lake's borders of sedge. Two famous spectacles in Lake Manyara
National Park are the tree-climbing lions, which spend most of the day spread
out along the branches of acacia trees six to seven meters above ground, and
tree climbing pythons. Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment
the park is noted for its incredible beauty. As visitors enter the gate they
pass into the lush forest, home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. Further
along, the forest opens up to the woodlands, grassland, swamps and beyond, the
soda lake itself, covering 390 sq km and sanctuary to over 400 species of bird
including flamingo, pelican, storks, sacred ibis, cormorants and Egyptian
geese. The park is particularly noted for its huge herds of buffaloes and elephants.
Also represented here are giraffe, impala, hippo and a great variety of smaller
animals.
