Stretching for 50 kilometers along the base of the 600-meter high rusty-gold Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a picturesque gem, praised by Ernest Hemingway as "the loveliest I had seen in Africa."
The compact game-viewing route through Manyara offers a miniature version of the Tanzanian safari experience.
From the entrance gate, the road meanders through a lush, jungle-like groundwater forest where large troops of baboons lounge casually along the roadside. Blue monkeys dart nimbly among the ancient mahogany trees, delicate bushbuck move cautiously through the shadows, and oversized forest hornbills honk loudly in the high canopy.
