View on Lake Manyara in Tanzania. This is the view we had from our lodge.
Lake Manyara is one of the many alkaline lakes of the Great Rift Valley. It was formed abut three million years ago and is quite shallow, with an average depth of about three metres. The lake hosts large fish populations, notably tilapia and catfish and attracts hundreds of birds species, especially breathtaking flocks of flamingoes.
Although it is Tanzania’s smallest park, Lake Manyara is one of the most diverse reserves in the country. The beautiful Lake Manyara covers two thirds of the park, while the rest consists of steep mountainside, swamps, dense woodlands, open grassy areas and hot springs.
PS : this is a scanned picture so the quality is not that good. WS are welcomed :) |

Salut Emmanuelle,
Belle image de ce pays et de sa végétation luxiriante. Le lac au fond est bien vu et ces nuages donnent encore plus une image grandiose.
