Tanzania Parks
Lake Manyara was definitely beautiful, but there is not much wildlife, other than baboons and hippos.

Hard to see wildlife at the park. Known for flamingos but I have never seen them here.

We only had a relatively short time in the Park but certainly enjoyed both the scenery and all the elephants.
Thick vegetation makes it hard to see wildlife well. Only a few areas where lots of wild life can be seen.

I'm not really a fan of Manyara, as the tourist circuit in the North tends to get very clumped up around these parks in my opinion. The game sighting is nothing to write home about, other than maybe flamingos. There are much better parks in Tanzania.

Good birding in the park, wildlife is less, but still some herbivores in the park. There are lots of waterfowls in the park and good flamingo's in the lake in the right season .
After visiting both Serengeti and Ngorongoro this park was not as exciting anymore, however it is a good park and you can spot a lot of animals and a few species that did not exist in the other parks.

Maybe, at other times of year Lake Manyara National Park might be better with more wildlife, we did see some unique and endemic bird species here, and Klipspringer antelope that we didn't see elsewhere.
Accommodations overlooking the great rift valley wonderful views. The park has the chance to see a lot of wildlife, and from a scenery standpoint is average. This was were we started our game drives. Worth visiting, but not my favorite location.

Seemed to have to stay on the path and so even though there was a lot of wildlife, it was difficult to get close. Great place to stop and have lunch.
