Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment in Tanzania, is a compact yet diverse wildlife haven. Renowned for its picturesque setting, the park’s centerpiece is the alkaline Lake Manyara, which dramatically changes in size throughout the year, attracting flocks of flamingos and other water birds.
The park’s landscapes seamlessly transition from the lake’s shores to lush groundwater forests and open grassy plains. This diversity supports a rich array of wildlife, including tree-climbing lions, elephants, giraffes, and an abundance of bird species. The park’s relatively small size makes it an ideal destination for a day safari, offering a captivating blend of scenery and wildlife encounters.
Visitors are treated to the unique spectacle of watching wildlife against the backdrop of both the lake and the towering cliffs of the Rift Valley, making Lake Manyara National Park a charming and memorable stop within Tanzania’s illustrious safari circuit.

VerifiedOliver R2023-12-12THE BEST TOUR AGENCY FOR KILIMANJARO TREKKING AND WILDLIFE SAFARIES This was the first time I had travelled with Mr Lyimo . The company specialises in expert-led cultural and wildlife tours in Tanzania East Africa. Group numbers are small, accommodation at the hotel in Moshi Kilimajaro was comfortable and food excellent. The expert mountain and safari guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary for 6 days Climbing Kilimanjaro and 5 Days wildlife safari was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Kikuletwa Hot springs ( Maji Moto) . The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver! Thanks Mr Lyimo for your good arrangement.VerifiedTRAVEL J2023-11-09KILIMANJARO TREKKING , MATERUNI WATERFALLS,KIKULETWA HOTSPRINGS AND WILDLIFE SAFARI We booked a trip to Tanzania East Africa with Mr. Mboya the owner of Golden bamboo tours is the best corporate travel agent i have everworked with ..From a customer experience perspective, hes service is superlative..
