Not very exciting after visiting other parks, there are not many animals to spot. The water was very high so many roads were not accessible.

Mix of jungle/rainforest and the lake and some of the Big 5, it was diverse and different than the plains of the Serengeti. Also - lots of monkey sightings.

High waters from the recent rains limited the accessibility to some of the park. Still saw quite a bit though.

Lake Manyara unfortunately is growing and therefore the water is taking over big parts of the national park. It is still a very nice visit but if time is limite, you can skip it. Still wildlife there is great!

We could not ecplore the park because the lake was extended and blocked the roads of the national Park. Lots of baboon and monkey . That was Nice. Some zebras, birds. But not for long time

Poorer than the others. Because of the season, the lake covered part of the land, we did not see the famous climbing tree lions.

very nice park but it is quite difficult to see the lions because they hide in the bush. I saw a lot of baboons, elephants and birds.
