Northern Circuit
Lake Manyara National Park
Forest, lake shores and Rift Valley views on a northern safari route.
Lake Manyara packs variety into a small area: groundwater forest alive with baboons and blue monkeys, open floodplains, and alkaline lake shores that attract flamingos when water levels are right.
Famous for its tree-climbing lions and large elephant herds, Manyara is often visited on the way to Ngorongoro or the Serengeti. A night at a lodge on the escarpment offers sweeping Rift Valley views.
It is also a strong choice for travellers short on time who still want a classic Tanzania savannah experience.
