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...

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.
