Arrive early to avoid the crowds, and you can watch a lovely sunrise over the alkaline plains of Lake Manyara. And go soon - unfortunately, the borders of the park are slowly being pinched by development.

Lake Manyara is worth a visit, to be sure. Probably my least favorite of all the parks visited, but not a bad place at all! One night here is plenty. The sunset/sunrise views over the Lake from the high location of Lake Manyara Hotel are worth the visit alone.

We spent one day in Lake Manyara. The elephant viewing is wonderful here and the landscape is beautiful. There aren't a lot of predatory animals around so that is lacking, and the park is somewhat small so it feels like there are a lot of tourists around.

May be in Jan to July when it rains but this park has been drying up for last few years its sickening to go after nov when the heat is on .Deforestation catchin up or shall we say desertification. Its usually joined in with tarangire and ngorongoro to make a better package.
