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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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.
