Although one of the smaller Tanzanian parks (325 sq.kms) in the Rift Valley,
Manyara boasts a large lake. During the months of July through April, the
lake waters are tinged pink from the hundreds of greater and lesser flamingos
who feed there. Other features of the park include its stable heards of
elephants and buffalos, enormous troops of baboons and its famous tree-climbing
lions.
