WILDLIFE
The black-maned tree-climbing lions of Manyara can be an entertaining sight as you watch them navigate the branches of the trees before resting lazily on a quiet spot. The other wildlife within the park includes herds of buffalo, cheetah, Maasai giraffe, baboon, elephant, hippo and impala. The lake’s shores are inhabited by thousands of pink flamingos, and other birdlife is also prolific. Water birds are in abundance here, with pelicans, storks, stilts, egrets and herons all seen close to the source, whilst in the forested areas other species such as guinea fowl, crowned eagles and hornbills can be spotted.
