Limited wildlife viewing. If you are only in Tanzania one day, this might be ok for a day trip, but as far as a safari destination, I’d go for the bigger parks.

Amazing place to see the animals up close. Has lots of giraffes, zebras and elephants.

We saw hippos out of the water there. Bathrooms were very clean.

Lake Manyara was amazing. We saw 2 lions in the trees, had an up close view of elephants and enjoyed the baboons. Birds were also very plentiful and beautiful.

First stop on the safari, really enjoyed it, but after comparing to Serengeti and ngorogoro, it did not have as much to see.

I don’t think March was the right time to go. We didn’t see many animals or flamingo but it was a beautiful place.

Small park, but full of animals

It's a special NP with a thick forest, which makes game viewing very hard, especially big cats. It would be nice to come closer to the lake itself.

After a flood in 2013, the park entrance has suffered big destruction and has not yet renovated. The wildlife itself is very interesting, but Serengeti and Tanrangire are much better.

The visit to a Maasai village was so enjoyable - even with the language barrier, everyone was so friendly and nice. Again, the park was fantastic; wildlife, birds, vegetation...
