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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Wrong time of year for the flamingos, wild life was poor.

It was rainin and one of the rivers flooded so we were unable to access a large portion of the park it seemed. It is heavily forested which made it difficult to spot wildlife, but still very beautiful.
