Take a game drive along Lake Manyara’s alkaline soda lake to look for lesser and greater flamingos feeding in the shallows. Their numbers can gather in large seasonal flocks, creating a memorable birdwatching and photography opportunity. Other waterbirds, including pelicans and storks, may also be seen along the shoreline.

Plan this experience
Seasonal wildlife viewing; sightings and flock sizes vary with water levels and natural conditions. By arrangement; confirm current availability, suitability, guiding, access and written inclusions.
All activities are by arrangement. Availability, permits, park rules, guiding, equipment, access, timings, minimum ages, meals and inclusions must be confirmed for the actual dates and group. Sea conditions, tides, weather and seasonal wildlife can change the plan. Wildlife sightings and natural events are never guaranteed.
Travel with respect
Let local hosts lead community visits, seek consent for photographs and follow guide and site instructions. Observe wildlife without feeding, touching, chasing or disturbing it, and leave coral, plants and heritage objects undisturbed.
