Experience nature like never before!
Enjoy a guided bird’s-eye view of Manyara on Tanzania’s first treetop walkway (370m). It begins at ground level and climbs gently into the canopy, reaching a maximum height of 18m above the forest floor. Given the importance of the trees in Lake Manyara (and the lions that famously climb them), there’s a certain magic in climbing up into the canopy.
It’s best to enjoy the different perspective on the park without expecting to see any wildlife up high – birds are plentiful, and you may be fortunate enough to encounter baboons, silvery-cheeked hornbills and blue monkeys, but no one’s been known to see lions up here. If you spot an elephant moving through the forest down below, you’ve hit the jackpot. The whole experience is highly recommended.
This is Tanzania’s first Treetop Walkway and one of the longest in Africa. It offers a unique birds-eye view of the world around you. Enjoy life in the canopy amongst butterflies, monkeys and birds.
A great outdoor activity especially for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Families, couples, individuals and groups are all welcome.
The average time it takes to enjoy the Treetop Canopy Walkway is approximately 30 minutes to an hour from the time you entered the ground, allow yourself ample time to relax and enjoy the views. Please note that the walkway only allows for one-direction traffic. Guides are available to give interpretation while in the canopy as well as assisting for ease and enjoyable walk.
You must be dressed for treetop trekking. That means closed-toe, secure, covered shoes; knee-length shorts or long pants; and clothing appropriate to the weather.
All children must be 6 or older and accompanied by an adult. Ages 12 and older can participate without a chaperone and note that we may need to limit access during heavy rain and strong winds, thunder and/or lighting.
The walk can be done in the morning before going on game drives or even at the end of the day. If you’d like to take a walk through Lake Manyara treetops, let us know and we will organise this experience for you!
