Lake Manyara National Park
User Reviews (286)
Tanzania ParksLake Manyara is a great place to start with safaris. The park is small enough so that most of it can be seen in a day or two, and the wildlife is plentiful. There is amazing birding available here as well.

Great Scenic beauty, but not as good as other parks for wildlife. Also, a lot of people day tripping. Doesn't have the bush vibe of the other parks.
The drive to Lake Manyara took us through some scenic villages and there were 2 areas with lots of interesting waterfowl, but the flamingos were too far away to be seen. The Manyara Serena Safari Lodge is very beautiful, has good food and the pool well located for watching the sunset; but lots of smokers make that area off limits to nonsmokers. The entertainment also happens in the smokey area. We also went to Lake Eyasi and stayed at the Kisima Ngeda Camp. The staff was very engaging and the grounds were good for bird photography, but our bed had little bugs in it and right before we went to bed they spayed with insecticide which made breathing difficult. The food was adequate, but there was no selection.
While there we vivisted with the Datoga tribe with a knowledgable and friendly local guide. The tribe members were very welcoming. That was worth a visit!
A good pace to see animals and birds around the water features. Flamingos were a highlight, as well as hippos.

The hippo park was the highlight of this park... And, boy, did we see hippos! There were also storks and buzzards. No climbing lions, despite signs.
