Manyara Region

Manyara's Unmissable Highlights

Manyara’s landscape is defined by the Great Rift Valley and its diverse water bodies. This region features Lake Manyara National Park, home to tree-climbing lions and massive elephant herds. Natural landmarks range from the 3,420-meter volcanic peak of Mount Hanang to the geothermal Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The area also encompasses Tarangire’s baobab-studded plains and several alkaline lakes like Balangida, which support unique birdlife and traditional salt harvesting by local communities.
