Lake Manyara
While most guests visit en route to Ngorongoro Crater, it’s a shame to rush off. Lake Manyara National Park is a great base for outdoor activities beyond watching wildlife. Go hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, or check out the thrilling – and perhaps intimidating – treetop walkway. You can also visit nearby villages and learn about diverse local cultures.
- Remarkably beautiful lake setting.
- See elephant, buffalo, leopard and tree-climbing lion.
- Fantastic birdwatching, including flamingos and pelicans.
- Great for active tourism with hiking, cycling and boating.
- Easy to combine with Ngorongoro Crater or Tarangire.
