Lake Manyara National Park, named for the Wild Sisal that grows in the region, is the home to tree-climbing lions and is dominated by a soda lake that covers 230 square kilometres, or one-third of the park's entire size. The ever-changing vegetation that begins with thick forests of mahogany, fig trees, and wild mango, fed by tens of underground streams that drain the Ngorongoro Highlands, provides a haven for colorful birds, monkeys, and shy dwarf antelopes, and then opens up into woodland, a favorite of elephants and impala, and then unfolds into open savannah, teeming with herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra. It also has several hot springs and hippo pools.
