Manyara

Beneath the cliffs of the Manyara escarpment, this park offers a tapestry of woodland, grassland and swamps. The lush jungle-like forest is home to hundreds of baboons and blue monkeys. In contrast are the grassy floodplains and alkaline lake where thousands of pink flamingoes are found. In addition to the amazing birdlife, another reason to visit are the famous tree-climbing lions.
