The last day in Lake Manyara was sort of anticlimactic as we didn’t see too much up close. There were more animals and variety at the other game parks.

We were able to see, up close, a multitude of wildlife.

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.
