Lake Manyara National Park is sometimes referred to as the mini-serengeti. It is very small in size, and a majority of the area is covered by the lake itself, but hosts as many as 11 ecosystems and a vast varied wildlife.
The ground water forest of the surroundings at Lake Manyara offer a much needed break from African Savannahs. Tree climbing lions are the superstars here, but predator sightings are difficult. A close encounter with hundreds of elephants is the next best thing
