Karibu Tanzania-Lake Manyara National Park
Tucked below the majesty of the Rift Valley wall, Lake Manyara National Park consists of a thin green band of forest, flanked by the sheer 600 m high red and brown cliffs of the escarpment on one side and by the white-hot shores of an ancient soda lake on the other.
This wedge of suprisingly varied vegatation supports a wealth of wildlife, nourished by the streams flowing out of the escarpment base and waterfalls spilling over the cliffs.
Acacia woodlands shelters the Park's famous and professional tree-climbing lions lying languidly among the branches in the heat of the day.
Other common species found in the Park include boffalo, elephant, giraffe, monkey, baboons and cheater.
The Park is dazzling variety of birds include thousands of red billed qualea flitting over the water, pelicans, cormorants, and the pink streaks of thousands of flamingos.
