The Lake Manyara National Park is located about 60 km (37 miles) south of Ngorongoro Crater. It has more wooded areas than the Serengeti , the elephants for instance live in the forest. You can see many of the other larger animals as well. It has plenty of bird life, I saw several birds that I hadn't seen before.
