Amazing experience with my 8-year-old son
It's the first time my husband and son had been to Africa. I went there before but for business - only for three days. It's not like we saw on TV (tragedies etc.). We went through Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania's business city. We visited the spice island of Zanzibar first before flying to Arusha and then Lake Manyara National Park - where my son had a blast.
Coming from Minnesota - it felt hot even though it's supposed to be one of their cooler months. But it gets hotter even in Minnesota. We loved the weather.
You can't expect to get the first world service in a third world country but I would say - we're really impressed with what we paid for. Plenty of wildlife, beautiful uncontaminated air, exotic food, very good and kind African people.
It's our best trip ever!! Going again in the next two years,

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.

very nice park but it is quite difficult to see the lions because they hide in the bush. I saw a lot of baboons, elephants and birds.

Poorer than the others. Because of the season, the lake covered part of the land, we did not see the famous climbing tree lions.

Lake Manyara unfortunately is growing and therefore the water is taking over big parts of the national park. It is still a very nice visit but if time is limite, you can skip it. Still wildlife there is great!

High waters from the recent rains limited the accessibility to some of the park. Still saw quite a bit though.

Beautifully green and much vegetation, forest. There are very many Baboons alongside the road and in the trees. The other animals remain to bug extent hidden due to the dense vegetation .
