Flora we would not have expected in Tanzania. Many many trees and humid air alongside a huge lake. At some point it looked mysterious, like a deadland with mud and dead trees due to the natron/soda that the lake contains. It had a great djungle/bush vibes with giraffes and elephants surprising in the dense forest. We were not lucky to see any cats.

Lake Manyara was mainly forest. The highlights for me were seeing the behaviour of the elephants: We experienced a loan elephant being welcomed to an elephant tribe where they intwined their trunks.. I also loved seeing a group of giraffes appear along the brook/river bed.

Not much to complain about, but the dead forest by the lake was both amazing and a bit ugly

Very nice forest scenery, good change with respect to the other parks. however, because of the dense forest, there is a little less wildlife easily visible than in the savannah biomes. still, lots of baboons, birds, elephants etc.

Te area around the lake seemed very sad with all the dead trees.

At the time i visited (early February 2024) it was not easy to see animals at Manyara as the grass was long. I saw quite a few baboons, gazelles and birds, but not much else during an afternoon safari. However, Manyara is one of the few places where you can do a night safari. It was a completely different experience and well worth it. We saw several elephants, a leopard, giraffes, white tailed and pygmy mongoose, a genet, dik diks and impala. For this reason I would recommend a stop at Manyara.
