Lake Manyara National ParkArea: 325 km2 Cradled in the glory of its surrounding below the sheer majesty of the Rift Valley wall, Lake Manyara lies serene, spreading in a heat haze backed by a thin green band of forest and the sheer 600 metre red and brown cliffs of the escarpment. There are several different types of forests with a variety of fauna-hippopotamuses, giraffes, elephants, lions sleeping in trees, zebras, monkeys. The park hosts 400 varieties of birds, including thousands of red billed quelea flitting over the water like swarms of giant insects; pelicans, cormorants and pink streaks of thousands of flamingo on their perpetual migration. You enter Manyara from the village of Mto wa Mbu, an eclectic market town where several tribes converge to form a lingustic mix that is the richest in Africa.
