Lake Manyara has such a beautiful vegatation with huge trees - even without the animals, the park itself, the lake and the vegetation would be worthy!
This was also the park with less cars and people, and I felt less stress within the animals.

Of the parks visited, this was the hardest to see animals and seems like ecological change has impacted the behavior of them. It was a lush jungly vibe and we did see a lot of wildlife, to be sure, but as a follow on to the other parks, I might have allocated the time to the Crater or Serengeti.

There are not many wild animals and there is a boring feeling.

A lot of trees and bush making it a bit more difficult to spot wildlife.
The lake offers a lot of birds though.

The park is covered by 70% with a lake. We came after heavy rain fall which ment the lake had 80%. And some roads we could take. They are trying to get back some Elephants and other wildlife by cutting some trees and bushes. Which would be great hopefully in the future but for now not so nice. It was nice to see Baboons up close and see them play and live together.

There wasn't as much life here as I expected. We also did a canoe safari the afternoon we were here. It was a nice break from being in the jeep.

Lovely small park with dense trees and a beautiful lake. Bit of a rainforest feeling. Lots of monkeys and elephants to spot, amongst other animals.

We passed through this park briefly and did an evening drive so can say far less about this park than others. The scenery was lovely and there was wildlife stretching into the distance. The evening drive was less eventful.

forested park, so harder to see animals; but we saw a lot of animals!
