Animals in Lake Manyara National Park
The park is one green oasis consisting of tall trees and waterfalls. Lake Manyara National Park is the ideal habitat for large groups of baboons, vervet monkeys, waterbucks and aardvarks. Deep inside the park there are contrasts- the tropical rainforest turns into vast savannah plains where larger game lives. Giraffes with dark fur and tree-climbing lions attract attention here. Many buffalo, zebra, wildebeest and elephant also live here. The “hippo pool” is the place to spot hippos.
