Lake Manyara national park is gorgeous and extremely green which makes it hard for wildlife spotting.

Thick bush that makes it difficult to see many animals. Also very small park.

Wildlife significally less then in other NP like Ngorogoro or Tarangire as most animals migrated.
Mainly birds and monkeys, but beautiful landscape

Lake Manyara is a little bit destroyed from the flood. In the morning we almost saw no animals than Monkeys! Would not recommend!

So many monkeys! A great place to see lots of wildlife up close as it is such a small national park.

As we have been in there, lions were not in climbing mood ... we haev not seen any lions in this park.
We saw a lot of monkeys, and maybe two elephants.
The park is beautiful, but in other parks was the wildlife much better.

All flamingos are gone. Due to extension of the lake the scenery looks a bit spooky.
