Migunga Forest Camp Manyara

(Lake Manyara National Park - Tanzania)

General Description
Migunga Forest Camp is located in 35 acres of forest in a quiet corner on the northwestern shore of Lake Manyara and close to Migungani Village. The camp is approx 10 minutes drive from the entrance of Lake Manyara National Park, which spreads out across the Great East African Rift Valley, dominating the landscape.   Manyara is often called Tanzania's water wonderland due to the large number of birds and animals the lake supports.  The park has a variety of vegetation types - the ground water forest as you enter the park, the soda flats circling the lake, and the acacia woodland that makes up a large part of the park.
