The Lake was overflooded because of heavy rain the previous days.

We sadly did not see much wildlife at Lake Manyara but we loved the nature and landscapes.

Didn't stay long enough to give it a fair rating.

Unfortunately, a natural disaster has devastated the area. However, it was still excellent for viewing monkeys and birds. We also wanted to support the restoration of the park.

Park is very forested, so much harder to see wildlife. And high water levels in the lake restricted access to lake viewing

Lots of wildlife here. The Terrain is different than the others. More trees and jungle like. Only place we saw the Blue Monkey.

Small but perfectly formed - amazing ancient trees and interesting lake foreshore. Lots of animals.

It was very hard to see any wildlife with so many trees and the lake had also caused damage to some of the forest area.
