Lake Manyara was our first game drive on our visit. We saw elephants, baboons, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras, and giraffes, all in our first 2 hours of being there. It was a great introduction to our week long safari. Make a point of stopping at the cultural center a couple miles outside the park. Local crafts by local artisans. great gifts, and a good way so support the local folks.

There were not so easy to spot animals at Lake Manyara - compared to other National Parks.
No flamingos at the time of our visit.
Lake is beautiful though, and view at the Great Rift - stunning.

We didn't visit in the best season so wildlife wasn't the best but it was beautiful and I will definitely go back in a better season!

There are not many animals here. This is not a big park.

Lake Manyara seemed smaller to me than other parks, but had a wealth of birds and other wildlife, especially monkeys and baboons. I was there on an overcast and windy day which made for a different and fantastic experience.

Lake Manyara provided many scenic opportunities. We saw many wildlife around and in the lake. We did not, however, see any (tree climbing) lions . We were there for an afternoon and we understand that they could have been hiding.

Lake Manyara is a small park has great dens forest - excellent for elephant viewing and birding. The lake hosts 1000's of flamingoes and storks. There is also a viewing platform that was installed in 2014 that is a great stop to view the flamingos, hippos and other birds.

I only spent a day there but recall a jackal, baboons on a termite mound, an elephant and hippos. The weaver colony at Lake Manyara Serena Lodge made for good photos.
