LAKE
MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
Location:
Set in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National
Park is located near Ngorongoro Crater and the
Arusha National Park in the North Eastern sides
of Tanzania. The park is actually located in between
Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area & Tarangire
and Arusha National Parks.
Attractions:
A major attraction of the Lake Manyara National
Park is the tree - climbing lions. Unfortunately
there is no guarantee that you will spot them.
However, there are other things to see - elephants,
hippos, zebras, impalas, buffalos, baboons, plains
animals as well as huge variety of birdlife, both
resident and migratory.
At certain times of the year, Lake Manyara is
home to thousands of flamingos (attracted by the
Lake itself), which form a shimmering pink zone
around the lake shore. Other birds found here
include ostriches, egrets, herons, pelicans and
storks. Also seen are African spoonbills, various
species of ibises, ducks and the rare pygmy geese.
The most noticeable of the landscape within this
park are the very impressive baobab trees with
their huge trunks.
How to get there:
Air:
There's an airstrip near the park gate and available
return daily flight from Arusha. You can also
charter a plane Arusha.
Road:
The park is located 130 km west of Arusha and
is reached via the Arusha - Serengeti road. The
drive from Arusha takes about 21/2 hours, the
road is good tarmac for the first 80 km, and then
the road is rough later: however, it is an enjoyable
journey. The entrance to the park is off the left
of the Great North Road at Makuyuni. From here,
there is a track, reportedly in very poor condition
that goes past the lake and through the village
of Mto wa Mbu to the park entrance at the foot
of the Great Rift Escarpment.
Getting Around:
The main road through the park is good enough
for most vehicles although some of the tracks
may be closed during wet seasons. Taking a guide
with you is recommended as they will be much better
at spotting the game - in particular the lions
- than you.
