Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara is a shallow fresh-water lake in Tanzania. Manyara is the seasonal home of roughly three million lesser and greater pink flamingos. The flamingos blanket the lake in a soft tint of dusty pink. When seeing this pink opus of flamingos and feathers from a distance it's not hard to understand why Hemingway once called it "the loveliest lake in Africa.”
The best time to visit Lake Manyara National Park is in the early Morning, when it is peaceful and still (this is almost certainly the only way to see the park's shy leopards). The plains near the lakeshore are your best bet for mammal viewing: herds of zebra and wildebeest, warthog, impala, and giraffe.

Birdlife
in Lake
Manyara
Lake Manyara is probably best known as a birding
destination, especially for water birds. While the
flamingoes once made the park famous, the Lake edge has
retreated far from the usual driving routes and the
flamingoes can
often only be seen as a vague pink shimmer in the
distance. However, near the wetlands and streams you can
still see dozens of different birds - ducks, waders,
egrets - and the drier sections of the park are also
especially known for hornbills.

Lk.Manyara Wildlife:
Elephant, giraffe, buffalo and wildebeest can be found
grazing in unexpected clearings or heading towards the
water to drink or wash, and the rivers and riverbeds
provide scenic vistas for possible animal spotting.
Warthog seem to thrive here, growing notably fat and
tuckered, and it is a natural playground for baboons and
monkeys. The tree-climbing lion of Lake Manyara inspire
extensive theorizing as to the wonders of evolution, and
are also notoriously rarely seen. SERENGETI BALLOON SAFARI. click here |

climbing trees - unique behavior for their species.
You'll
need to be a little lucky to see them though, so don't
be disappointed if they elude you. The great diversity
of habitats at Lake Manyara National Park also makes it
a superb birding destination. More than 380 species have
been recorded, and the lake is especially known for
waterfowl and migrants.
