Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by ~ Ernest Hemingway ~ as “The loveliest I had seen in Africa. The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara is home to an incredible array of bird life that thrives on its brackish waters. Pink flamingo stoop and graze by the thousands. Even reluctant bird-watchers will find something to watch and marvel at within the national park. Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions are another reason to pay a visit to this park. The only kind of their species in the world, they make the ancient mahogany and elegant acacias their home. The compact game-viewing circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the entire Tanzanian safari experience.
