The lake’s environment supports over 300 species of birds including cormorants, pink flamingos, pelicans and storks. You can see a variety of animals, including elephants and baboons (in fact Lake Manyara boasts the most baboons in any park in Africa!) It is a small and compact park, where you can see a wide variety of species from pink flamingos to elephants to big cats. You can also get a bit active in Lake Manyara with canoe trips exploring the lake and bicycle rides to the shore from the nearby town of Mto Wa Mbu.
