The park offers a great view of the 400-metre-deep Great Rift Valley. This tear in the earth came into existence 22 to 25 million years ago when movement in a weak area of the earth’s crust led to the formation of a rift thousands of kilometres long through the whole of East Africa. The valley is so enormous it can be seen from outer space, and it has many unique landscapes that attract various different animals. Besides being home to Lake Manyara itself, you can also find a dense rainforest with hundreds of groups of monkeys and a vast number of birds. After a great day in Lake Manyara National Park, your driver-guide will transfer you to your accommodation.
