Lake Manyara National Park
User Reviews (286)
Tanzania ParksI only spent a day there but recall a jackal, baboons on a termite mound, an elephant and hippos. The weaver colony at Lake Manyara Serena Lodge made for good photos.

Dry season is not the best time for this park

Probably because of the time of year, not many birds were evident. It was only a superficial stop between Tarangire and the Crater.

The park was quite nice, but after beeing in the Serengeti and Tarangire NP it had no "wow effect" on us. We still enjoyed a visit, but be aware that you won't necessarily see a lion even if the park claims to be the place where you can find lions on trees (which we saw before at Serengeti).
We only had a morning here so can't elaborate too much but the bird life was outstanding here

Lake Manyara has a more jungle vibe to it, being more treey. To see the tree lions is the prime reason to visit it.

Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.
The compact game-viewing circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience.

Great birding destination. Attractions include pelicans, storks, hornbills and blue monkey. Its become rarer to see the tree climbing lions that this park was famous for

Lake attracts many animals that come to drink . there is impressive colonies of pelicans and pink FLAMMANDS .
We had a tent Lodge facing the lake outside our room went wildebeest and zebras.
Relatively small but beautiful park that is packed with wildlife. If you're lucky, you may see the famous tree lions of Lake Manyara! Be sure to spend the night in a wild camp, for a true bush experience.
