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.

The park was quite nice, but after beeing in the Serengeti and Tarangire NP it had no "wow effect" on us. We still enjoyed a visit, but be aware that you won't necessarily see a lion even if the park claims to be the place where you can find lions on trees (which we saw before at Serengeti).
We only had a morning here so can't elaborate too much but the bird life was outstanding here

Lake Manyara has a more jungle vibe to it, being more treey. To see the tree lions is the prime reason to visit it.
Relatively small but beautiful park that is packed with wildlife. If you're lucky, you may see the famous tree lions of Lake Manyara! Be sure to spend the night in a wild camp, for a true bush experience.
