Lake Manyara National Park is a gorgeous little park which sits at the foot of the Great African Rift Escarpment.
This park offers lush vegetation and became rather well-known for its tree climbing Lions and for it's large elephant population.
Lake Manyara National Park is very scenic and diverse and Lake Manyara itself was descibed by Hemingway as 'the loveliest lake in Africa'.
Lake Manyara may not have the more extensive game viewing of the Serengeti or the stunning setting of Ngorongoro, but if time permits, a night or two at Lake Manyara, especially in one the more remote lodges is a worthy addition to a northern Tanzania safari.
