One of the smaller Tanzanian parks in the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara NP is an interesting place to visit. During the months of July through April, the lake waters are tinged pink from the hundreds of flamingos who feed there. Other features of the park include its stable heards of elephants and buffalos, enormous troops of baboons and its famous tree-climbing lions.
The famous Serengeti encompasses nearly 15,000 sq.km and is unrivaled anywhere for its seasonally shifting concentrations of herbivores. Nearly 1.5 million wildebeest, 500,000 gazelle and 250,000 zebra complete a cyclical the ecosystem, followed by large predators.
The unique Ngorongoro Crater phenomenon must be seen to be believed. The crater, a collapsed volcanic caldera, covers 250 sq.km and is 611m deep. Large numbers of carnivores, herbivores, primates and birds are seen year round. It also boasts one of the last viable populations of the nearly extinct black rhinoceros and the highest density of lions and spotted hyena's.
