Lake Manyara is an interesting location that is very different from what one expects in East Africa. The lake provides year-round water, which makes Lake Manyara green and lush, and this location is one of the best for monkeys and baboons. We found, however, that the game drive here was a bit lacking compared to the other three locations we visited. The lake is full of flamingos, but there are no roads passing nearby (at least there were not when we did our game drive), so all we saw was a pink haze in the distance. We also saw small numbers of elephants, lions, giraffes... but after being spoiled by the amount of wildlife in the other parks, we were a wee bit disappointed. It is interesting to see this location, due to its dissimilarity from the other parks, but if you want to save money by cutting a day from the safari, this is the one to skip.
go and have a half-day excursion (hunting, "smoking") to the Hadzabe people!!

Little to see, expensive and repetitive

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.

I would skip Lake Manyara and spend your time elsewhere.

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

Thick bushes where the animals can easily hide, so you don’t see them much:(

Lake Manyara is a little bit destroyed from the flood. In the morning we almost saw no animals than Monkeys! Would not recommend!
