The story

Lake Manyara became a national park in 1960 and later formed part of a wider biosphere reserve landscape. Its small size makes it rich in contrast: forest, lake edge, hot springs, and steep Rift Valley escarpment.

Short history story

Travelers remember Manyara because the safari changes quickly: one moment monkeys in green forest, the next flamingos and hippos along the lake.
