Poorer than the others. Because of the season, the lake covered part of the land, we did not see the famous climbing tree lions.

We could not ecplore the park because the lake was extended and blocked the roads of the national Park. Lots of baboon and monkey . That was Nice. Some zebras, birds. But not for long time

Lake Manyara unfortunately is growing and therefore the water is taking over big parts of the national park. It is still a very nice visit but if time is limite, you can skip it. Still wildlife there is great!

High waters from the recent rains limited the accessibility to some of the park. Still saw quite a bit though.

Mix of jungle/rainforest and the lake and some of the Big 5, it was diverse and different than the plains of the Serengeti. Also - lots of monkey sightings.

Not very exciting after visiting other parks, there are not many animals to spot. The water was very high so many roads were not accessible.

Roads were flooded and the flamingoes had migrated to the Ngorongoro crater and therefore, have not seen much there.

Beautifully green and much vegetation, forest. There are very many Baboons alongside the road and in the trees. The other animals remain to bug extent hidden due to the dense vegetation .

There are some elephants. There are lots of monkeys. There are birds. The park itself is dying as the lake grows and kills the trees. The other part of the park seems overgrown. You really only see animals that are within 6ft of the road. If you have been on other safari’s, I would recommend skipping it.

The night safari is a waste as well.
