Visit the Masai Boma in Manyara area

Lake Manyara National Park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, wildebeests, and the famous tree-climbing lions. The park’s alkaline lake provides a haven for flamingos and other waterbirds, while the dense forests are home to primates such as blue monkeys and baboons.

The Best Time to Visit Lake Manyara National Park is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this period, the weather is dry, and the animals congregate around the water sources, making it easier to spot them.
