TANZANIA NORTHERN CIRCUIT ADVENTURE
A compact safari experience with diverse wildlife drama.
With a diversity of landscapes, Lake Manyara National Park provides a compact safari experience that allows visitors to see diverse wildlife drama from the vibrant flamingoes to the fearsome lion.
Named after a seasonal alkaline lake at its heart, Lake Manyara National Park is the best place for canoeing safaris in the wet season and traditional game drives year-round. Labeled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I have seen in Africa”, Lake Manyara is a perfect starting or finishing point for the northern circuit safari adventure.
Massive flamingo population
In addition to its massive flamingo population, Lake Manyara is possibly most famed for the tree-climbing lions who call this park home. Tree-climbing lions can be found in very few parks in Africa and nowhere else in Tanzania, these agile predators cut a prominent figure as they lounge lazily in acacia trees.
home to Africa’s most iconic animals
Among other wild animals calling this park home are Africa’s most iconic animals such as wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, zebra, and cape buffalo, as well as less famed but no less fascinating Kirk’s dik-dik and klipspringer.
world-famous pink flamingos
Another high spot of the Lake Manyara National Park is the world-famous pink flamingos that call its waters home.
