Lake
Manyara is also renown for its tree-climbing lions which spend most of the
day spread out along the branches of acacia trees six to seven metres
above the ground. The park contains the most pachyderms per km sq. in
Tanzania. As visitors enter the gate, they pass into the lush forest, home
to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. Buffalo and hippo lurch in the
adjacent Hippo Pool. The vegetation eventually merges into flat topped
acacia woodland where, in the heat of the day entire prides of lion can be
seen stretched on the branches of these trees - a habit prevalent to
Manyara lions.
Along
with these amazing tree-climbing lions there are the usual browsers and
grazers as well as the curios-looking banded mongoose. Two thirds of the
park is dominated by the slightly alkaline lake which is home to a huge
variety of waterbirds.
Nestling
at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is recognized
for its incredible beauty. Wildlife at Lake Manyara is not restricted to
birdlife only. Many game animals such as Buffalo, Elephant, Giraffe,
Impala, hippo and a great variety of smaller animals also inhabit the
park.
More than 400 species of bird including
flamingo, pelican, red billed quelea, storks, sacred ibis, cormorants and
Egyptian geese can be sighted in this area.  Other species of birds include
the African spoonbill, lesser flamingo, white pelican and white faced
duck.
Although
Lake Manyara National Park is only 325 square kilometres (125 square
miles), the shallow, alkaline lake consumes the majority of this area. The
land portion of the Park is situated between the lake and the sheer rock
walls of the Rift Valley escarpment that tower 610 metres (2 000 feet)
above. The Park is home to three distinct habitats including a lush
groundwater forest, open floodplains and acacia woodlands. In just a
two-hour round-trip foray into the Park, it is possible to see all the
main highlights – offering the ideal quick safari for travellers who are
short of time.
Lake Manyara National Park is a birding paradise, especially for waterfowl
and migrants. Its lush green forests are one of the best places to see
leopards. Lions hunt on the grassy shores of the lake, and are known for
their habit of climbing trees. Superb game viewing is offered throughout
the year but is at its peak from December to February and from August to
September.
