Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is a Tanzanian national park located both in Arusha Region and Manyara Region, Tanzania. The two administrative regions have no jurisdiction over the parks. The park is governed by the Tanzania National Parks Authority. The majority of the land area of the park is a narrow strip running between the Gregory Rift wall to the west and Lake Manyara, an alkaline or soda-lake, to the east.

The park consists of 330 km2 (130 sq mi) of arid land, forest, and a soda-lake which covers as much as 200 km2 (77 sq mi) of land during the wet season but is nearly nonexistent during the dry season.

Begin your adventure by cycling through this bustling village and interacting with the friendly people. You might even encounter the nomadic Mang’ati tribe (also known as the Datooga tribe), adorned with traditional animal skin cloaks, skirts and colourful beads. Once you have left the village behind, continue on a picturesque route that will bring you to the lakeshore, where you can admire the bright pink flocks of flamingos. If the birds are close enough, you can strap on some gumboots and walk out to observe and photograph them. Take some time to marvel at the extraordinary sight of the pink cloud drifting overhead as the birds take off in unison.
