After visiting both Serengeti and Ngorongoro this park was not as exciting anymore, however it is a good park and you can spot a lot of animals and a few species that did not exist in the other parks.

Good birding in the park, wildlife is less, but still some herbivores in the park. There are lots of waterfowls in the park and good flamingo's in the lake in the right season .

I'm not really a fan of Manyara, as the tourist circuit in the North tends to get very clumped up around these parks in my opinion. The game sighting is nothing to write home about, other than maybe flamingos. There are much better parks in Tanzania.

Thick vegetation makes it hard to see wildlife well. Only a few areas where lots of wild life can be seen.

We only had a relatively short time in the Park but certainly enjoyed both the scenery and all the elephants.

Hard to see wildlife at the park. Known for flamingos but I have never seen them here.

Lake Manyara was definitely beautiful, but there is not much wildlife, other than baboons and hippos.

May be in Jan to July when it rains but this park has been drying up for last few years its sickening to go after nov when the heat is on .Deforestation catchin up or shall we say desertification. Its usually joined in with tarangire and ngorongoro to make a better package.
