Lake Manyara is an excellent place for bird watching and a good area to find elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, warthogs, buffalos, and maybe even a legendary tree-climbing lion! At some point during your game drive, you should get out of your vehicle at the hippo pool to stretch your legs and observe the hippos here.
