Lake Manyara Tour Tanzania
LAKE MANYARA
Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold six hundred metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.
Hot Springs bubble to the surface
The shallow alkaline lake situated inside the Lake Manyara National Park, is home to millions of flamingos, pelicans, storks and other plentiful bird life as well as hippos. Hot springs trickle into the shallow waters and during dry season the lakeshore retreats to leave striking white soda deposits in its wake.
Wealth of Wildlife
The surprisingly varied vegetation supports a wealth of wildlife nourished by the streams flowing out of the Rift Valley escarpment base and waterfalls spilling over the cliffs. Acacia woodland shelters the Lake Manyara famous tree-climbing lions lying languidly among the branches during the heat of the day.
