Lake Manyara accommodation tips
Lake Manyara is a shallow soda lake, set at the base of the Western Rift Valley Escarpment. The northwestern lakeshore and its hinterland are protected in a scenic national park. Manyara is one of Tanzania’s smallest parks, 1 day of game drives is enough. Nevertheless, Manyara boosts a very diverse flora & fauna – savannah, acacia woodland, rocks, grassy floodplains and tropical rainforest. The park offers suburb birding and guided walking safaris along the shore to the hot springs and flamingo lookout point. Best to go early in the morning. The walking safari can be arranged on arrival at the gate.
Tip:
In case you want to go camping, we don’t recommend to camp at the public campsite inside Manyara. It’s a bit gloomy in the forest and close to the gate so you hear cars coming in and out. Instead, camp at Migombani campsite, high on a cliff opposite the main entrance gate.
We find Arusha National Parka and Manyara the best parks for undertaking a walking safari.
