I thought we would’ve seen more.

We saw some very unique things and enjoyed it. But the park has suffered extensive flooding over the past ~5 years making it tough to see animals.

Lake Manyara Park is a stunning place: it looks more like an asian jungle than an african forest. The trees are full of monkeys. Elephants emerge from the thick forest, breaking trees. Over the years, the lake has expanded, incorporating the dying trees from the banks, forming a spectacular petrified forest that emerges from the waters, a truly evocative sight.

This park was smaller than the others but was still very nice and interesting.

We didn't see as much here as we did in the other parks.

Lake Manyara was a nice trip. We did not see as many animals as we did in the other parks. No tree climbing lions. We did see hippos, giraffes, buffalo, several birds including pelican and flamingo, and more.

Lake Manyara is a beautiful wildlife park, but we didn’t see that much animals. We saw many elephants so that was nice!

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