The treetop walk is 370 m long and reaches a height of 18 m above ground. The walkway consists of a series of bridges. Each of the bridges ends on a viewing deck situated around tree trunks. These treetop platforms are perfect places to stop and view the surroundings or take a photo.
Next to the beautiful forest, you’re very likely to encounter more than a few blue monkeys (you guess which part is blue) and baboons who love to use the canopy as their playground. Apart from monkeys, you can come eye to eye with a variety of birds, such as the silvery-cheeked hornbill, and several butterflies. If you’re lucky, you might even see some of the bigger wildlife that hides in Lake Manyara’s forests.
The treetop walkway is located right at the entrance of Lake Manyara National Park, which makes it a great addition to your safari and lets you have a different perspective on its wildlife below. This tour is not done separately but as an addition to a trip.
The whole route can take around 30-50 minutes. It is meant to be a relaxing activity to enjoy the surroundings of the forest and its wildlife. If you rush the bridges, you will be done quite fast.
