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.

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.

Overall rating

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!

Evocative sunset
Overall rating
4/5

We visited Lake Manyara National Park only in the afternoon because our plane was in late so we weren't able to visit all the park (organization of the guides is the most important requirement for this travels).
The park is very large and offer a good opportunity for the birdwatching. We were able to see storks, hornbills, flamingos, ibis, baboons, zebras, gnu, buffalo, hippos, gazelles, antelopes.
I know the park is a good place to see the leopards activity not only in the night but we unfortunately weren't able to see them. We visited the park until the sunset, the light is so warm and weak and all the photo we took have so nice colours. At the end of the day we covered the near hills so we could admire the Lake from the top of the hills...it is so long and suggestive.
