A LITTLE CLOSER

The experience

Lake Manyara offers a varied day in a compact landscape. Explore woodland and forest roads, look for birds and wildlife, and pause for a picnic along the way. The park is associated with tree-climbing lions, but the pleasure is in what the day reveals, not a promised sighting.
