Manyarra can be considered as an opener, a soft introduction to exciting safari ahead in Serengeti and Ndutu area.
For bird lovers it is good, and the fact that it is on the way and breaks the journey time, it must be explored.

Going to manyara at the end is not really worth it, too much bush, more difficult to spot animals, there are apparently climbing tigers, but difficult to find.
there were thousands of flamingos, but they are too far to really understand how many they are.

Beautiful scenery. Lush vegetation and mountains. It lacks diversity of animals and predators tough.

Very dry and dusty, also was very hot and uncomfortable. Would recommend going at a different time of year, we went in February.

It is really in the bush and you can't see that many animals.

If you want go to Lake Manyara, please let this be your first Safari park. Compared to the other parks, this park is not that exciting for me

Didn't see so many animals. Went on a walking safari and saw almost nothing - but it was good to get out of the vehicle and walk in the bush

We saw some very unique things and enjoyed it. But the park has suffered extensive flooding over the past ~5 years making it tough to see animals.
