The altitude rises from 1829 metres at the Marangu Gate to 5895metres at the Kibo Peak.

It is set in the Great Rift Valley and covers an area of 325 sq. kms of which 229 sq. kms are the lake.

At certain times of the year, Lake Manyara is home to thousands of flamingoes which form a shimmering pink border around the lakeshore.
