In Lake Manyara National Park you can do the famous Canopy or Treetop Walk. At a height of 15 meters and a length of more than 370 meters, it leads you over stable, narrow bridges along the treetops through the beautiful untouched nature of the national park filled with monkeys, butterflies, and various exotic birds. The walk usually takes half an hour, but longer if you stop frequently along the way and enjoy the view. Experience nature from a completely new perspective!
Treetop Walkway
This 370m airwalk starts with a short boardwalk that gradually rises from ground level up through the canopy of the forest. You walk over a series of suspension bridges with thick netting on the sides and reach a height of 18m off the ground. Each of the bridges ends on a viewing deck situated around tree trunks. These treetop platforms are perfect places to stop and enjoy life in the canopy amongst butterflies, monkeys, and birds.
Birds-eye view of the forest
During this walk guides will point out interesting facts about the Lake Manyara flora and fauna, while you can enjoy a unique birds-eye view of the world around you. This is Tanzania’s first Treetop Walkway and one of the longest in Africa. A great outdoor activity for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Families, couples, individuals, and groups are all welcome.
Get ready for an experience you will never forget!
Location of Treetop Walk In Lake Manyara National Park: At the beginning of Lake Manyara National Park (‘old gate’)
Lose yourself among the treetops of Lake Manyara on a treetop canopy tour. Stroll through the ancient forests of this magnificent national park, starting on a short boardwalk that gradually rises from ground level to the forest canopy. Glide over a series of suspension bridges, flanked with thick netting for safety, and stop to marvel at viewing decks that blend into the massive tree trunks. Enjoy an intimate glimpse of life in the treetops, eye-to-eye with monkeys, birds, and butterflies, and accompanied by your guide. Spend an hour suspended up to 18 meters (59 feet) above the forest floor.
Hopefully, boasting a magnificent bird’s eye view of the forest, you will be able to spot some gorgeous wildlife in the lush foliage. Massive grey elephants barrel their way through shrubs and trees and proud buffalo brush the forest floor. You are never far from the infinite Blue Monkeys that play, cavort, and relish the opportunity to play catch, tag, and jump maniacally on the suspension bridges and, if given the chance, will go tandem with you on your canopy glide. Listen closely and you will hear a symphony of birds chattering and tweeting, especially the trumpeting Silvery-cheeked Hornbills that swoosh past.
