MIKUMI NATIONAL PARK
Great masses of pink hued flamingoes gather on the saline waters of Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara was formed as a result of the Great Rift Valley – over millions of years as the rift grew wider, streams cascaded down and pooled into what is now the famous lake. Algae thrive in the high saline content of the lake. Huge and colorful flocks of birds gather in the water to feed, including many different varieties of birds that coexist together. In fact, well over 300 different species of birds have been recorded here!
