Above all, Manyara National Park has most visible predators and prime tourist attraction are lions, famous for their habit of climbing trees.
Why the lions of Lake Manyara National Park? And not those of nearby Serengeti and Ngorongoro spend so much time in trees remains a mystery. The acacia woodlands south of the Msasa River provide an ideal spot for the Lions to retreat from the sun.
However, the only kind of their species in the world, not only they make the ancient mahogany and elegant acacias their home during the rainy season and are a well-known but also rare feature of the northern park. In addition, the lions, the national park, is also home to the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world — a fact that accounts for interesting game viewing of large families of primates.

Day 5
From Karatu to Serengeti National Park
From Karatu to Serengeti National Park
Enjoy breakfast at your Lodge. After breakfast, depart for the central part of Serengeti National Park to witness the wildebeest migration.
You will enjoy a fantastic picnic lunch en route to a full day excursion to Serengeti National park.
The wildebeest migration in the Wogakuria area usually runs from August to October, depending on rainfall. In addition, a long stretch of the Mara River runs through the northern Serengeti National Park, and the Mara River is the most challenging obstacle to the migration. Watching the wildebeest herds crossing the Mara River is incredible.
But when the rains stop & the land dries up, the migrating herds move clockwise into the Maasai Mara region via the western Corrido and Grummet rivers. Once the light rains arrive, the herds move to the northernmost parts of the Serengeti near the Mara River and the Lami Wedge. Around 1,500 wildebeest migrated to the Mara River.
