A nice part of the trip but not the best. Still worth a visit

Heaven for elephants and baboons
Lake Manyara also gives you the opportunity to go on a walking safari. An armed park ranger took us on an hour and a half hike, which was an excellent experience getting to experience the bush on foot and learn about the plants and animal signs from the ranger. We got lucky and saw a mother and juvenile elephants drinking at a stream. Wow, what a thrill! It was actually pretty intense because the mother

started walking in our direction and could have easily charged over the stream, but the park ranger handled it with aplomb and made some loud noises to turn the elephant around.Lake Manyara was our last stop on our safari. To me I enjoyed it just as much as the heavy hitters like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Better than Tarangire (though I saw Tarangire in February and it's probably better in the dry season when the wildlife is more concentrated).

Lake Manyara has such a beautiful vegatation with huge trees - even without the animals, the park itself, the lake and the vegetation would be worthy!
This was also the park with less cars and people, and I felt less stress within the animals.

Of the parks visited, this was the hardest to see animals and seems like ecological change has impacted the behavior of them. It was a lush jungly vibe and we did see a lot of wildlife, to be sure, but as a follow on to the other parks, I might have allocated the time to the Crater or Serengeti.

There are not many wild animals and there is a boring feeling.

A lot of trees and bush making it a bit more difficult to spot wildlife.
The lake offers a lot of birds though.

The park is covered by 70% with a lake. We came after heavy rain fall which ment the lake had 80%. And some roads we could take. They are trying to get back some Elephants and other wildlife by cutting some trees and bushes. Which would be great hopefully in the future but for now not so nice. It was nice to see Baboons up close and see them play and live together.

There wasn't as much life here as I expected. We also did a canoe safari the afternoon we were here. It was a nice break from being in the jeep.
