A 370 m long rope walkway built high in the canopy of
lake Manyara national park's groundwater forest. It consists of two boardwalks that rise gradually to a series of about 9 rope suspension bridges sitting as high as 18m above the ground.
Each of the suspension bridges ends in a wooden viewing deck built around a tree, enabling visitors to get a bird's eye view of the park as well as get closer to monkeys and birds in the tree tops.
What to do there?Take the exhilarating walk, with the possibility of seeing some animals from above such as elephants. It is run and owned by a private company and thus an extra fee is required.
For a list of other places to see in the national park, please see our
attractions page.
Best time to visit?Any time of the year.
