The crater is the world's largest caldera, which was formed after an explosion that occurred approximately 2 to 3 million years ago. The crater floor is 1,800m (5,900ft) above sea level, and the area has around 30,000 animals as well as a great variety of birds.

Manyara Park covers an area of only 330 sq km (127 sq miles), of which up to 200 sq km (77 sq miles) is made up of the lake when water levels are high. Lake Manyara is an excellent place for bird watching and a good area to find elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, warthogs, buffalos, and maybe even a legendary tree-climbing lion. At some point during your game drive, you should get off your vehicle at the hippo pool to stretch your legs and observe the hippos here.
