We were not there at the best season - lake very dried up. In addition it was the last we visited so we were already blasé seeing elephants again. A good number of different monkeys.

I'm basing this on my first visit to Manyara in 2012 because we inexplicably didn't see a single animal this year. The wildlife in Manyara doesn't seem as varied to me as it is in other national parks, but the elephant population is a joy. I also love all the trees, which Lake Manyara NP seems to have more of than any other national park out there. This makes it a lush, green space even during the dry season. It's fairly touristy, but not too much so.

Much wildlife was seen in this park as well as many birds. Not real crowded with other tourists.

It's a beautiful & scenic park with varied landscapes (dense forests, and the wide open expanses around the lake) and more giraffe than we have ever seen in one place. We did not, however, see the fabled "tree climbing lions" - which we saw plenty of in the Serengeti National Park.

Spend more time at Tarangire or Ngorongoro instead.

Lush !
It is a refreshing new vista which you would not expect in Africa.Gorgeous scenery and we saw elephants up close .We were not lucky to see the tree climbing lions but saw wildlife in plenty.Lots of birds and trees and little rivulets which made it so pretty.Park facilities were excellent though we just visited for a day.

Wonderful piece of Tanzania. Must see!
During our safari, Lake Manyara NP was our 1st destination. We heard about lions on trees, thousands flamingos over the lake, but nobody told us that it contains wonderful landscapes! We were sad we cannot visit the lake from near, our guide said it is forbidden to go outside streets and go closer to the lake.
We were happy there weren't too many tourits around there, it was really quiet and peaceful.
Absolutely recommended!
