About Lake Manyara Shores
The shores of Lake Manyara provide one of East Africa's most spectacular bird watching experiences. This alkaline lake attracts massive flocks of flamingos, creating a pink carpet across the water surface. The lake's high salt content supports blue-green algae, the primary food source for flamingos. Besides flamingos, the lake attracts pelicans, cormorants, storks, and numerous other water birds, making it a paradise for bird enthusiasts and photographers.
