In March vegetation was lush, but there was a lot of flooding. Land cruising was in effected by flooding ! Wild animals were less stressed due to abundant grazing. Encounters were numerous, and sometimes surprising. On several occasions, were fortunate to witness rare colors of species.

Unfortunately, I think the park is dying due to the recent floods. It's sad, but it's instructive to see how cruel and merciless nature itself can be at times.

A very beautiful valley with special views and so many animals living close together.

Not so many animals to see on our day there (we missed the lions in the trees) but still very enjoyable

It is really in the bush and you can't see that many animals.

Small National park but it was a lovely way to end our 10 day safari.
We had a wonderful time watching the elephant families coming to the waterfall/ river.
Plus we very lucky to see a small group of lions at the lake edge 😁😁

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
