Lake Manyara is a shallow lake in the the East Aftican Rift said by
Ernest Hemingway to be the "loveliest [lake] ... in Africa,". It is
also the home of a diverse set of landscapes and wildlife. While
most known for baboons, the lake and its environs is also home to
herbivores such as hippos, impalas, elephants, wildebeests, buffalo,
warthogs and giraffes. Lake Manyara provides opportunities for
ornithologists keen on viewing and observing over 300 migratory
birds, including flamingo, Long-crested Eagle and Grey-headed
Kingfisher.
