After visiting Tarangire and Ngorongoro: Lake Manyara was beautiful, but Tarangire and Ngorongoro were fantastic!

Excellent sightings of elephants in their family groups, splashing and rolling in the large pools, sibling brothers fighting each other by locking their tusks with one another, walking in single file to shadier trees and always checking on the younger elephants. A Park that was green, hilly and well wooded with Acacia trees that gave plenty of shade and opportunities for elephants to scratch themselves against.

We simply did not see very much game here! Rain and cloudy weather!

Absolutely gorgeous park with plenty of animals to see just about everywhere. Fantastic landscapes even when animals aren't present.

When you go to the serengetti nothing compares to this. Its quite a small park with limited wildlife

I was very pleased with our guide Peter and his excellent knowledge. He made sure we got the most out of our game drives. We visited Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park.

We saw a lot of baboons and elephants, as well as many zebra's, wildebeest and bufallos. However, having been to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Maasai Mara it felt that there wasn't as many animals as in the other parks, possibly because many were hidden in the bushes of the lake Manyara Park.

We were fortunate to see 2 tree climbing lions. Enjoyed the blue monkeys and varied bird life.

Lake Manyara was our first game drive on our visit. We saw elephants, baboons, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras, and giraffes, all in our first 2 hours of being there. It was a great introduction to our week long safari. Make a point of stopping at the cultural center a couple miles outside the park. Local crafts by local artisans. great gifts, and a good way so support the local folks.
