Lake Manyara is pretty small comparing to other national parks we visited. What we like about this place is that we saw lions resting on the trees which was quite spectacular, thanks to the springwater that has an influence on their behaviors. There were not so many kinds of wild animals to see here although olive baboons were notably abundant. The lanscape is a mix of plain and forest and not so scenic as Serengeti or Ngorongoro.

It was rainin and one of the rivers flooded so we were unable to access a large portion of the park it seemed. It is heavily forested which made it difficult to spot wildlife, but still very beautiful.

Wrong time of year for the flamingos, wild life was poor.

We didn't visit in the best season so wildlife wasn't the best but it was beautiful and I will definitely go back in a better season!

Lake Manyara seemed smaller to me than other parks, but had a wealth of birds and other wildlife, especially monkeys and baboons. I was there on an overcast and windy day which made for a different and fantastic experience.

Not as good wildlife sighting as the other parks we saw but still very good. Many more monkeys and baboons than other places. We saw some elephants in the dense forest as well

Manyarra can be considered as an opener, a soft introduction to exciting safari ahead in Serengeti and Ndutu area.
For bird lovers it is good, and the fact that it is on the way and breaks the journey time, it must be explored.
