If you want go to Lake Manyara, please let this be your first Safari park. Compared to the other parks, this park is not that exciting for me

Completely different atmosphere in this park with animals we didn’t see anywhere else due to the lake. Monitor lizards and snakes, water birds etc. birds were a highlight in this park. The rangers were burning so the smoke was a little much but added to the mystery of the adventure of what’s next

Didn't see so many animals. Went on a walking safari and saw almost nothing - but it was good to get out of the vehicle and walk in the bush

The dense vegetation makes it difficult to spot many animals. After visiting the other parks, this is definitely the one we would recommend skipping.

It was beautiful in many places but we did expect more birds and there were not many

We saw some very unique things and enjoyed it. But the park has suffered extensive flooding over the past ~5 years making it tough to see animals.
