Lake Manyara was mainly forest. The highlights for me were seeing the behaviour of the elephants: We experienced a loan elephant being welcomed to an elephant tribe where they intwined their trunks.. I also loved seeing a group of giraffes appear along the brook/river bed.

Flora we would not have expected in Tanzania. Many many trees and humid air alongside a huge lake. At some point it looked mysterious, like a deadland with mud and dead trees due to the natron/soda that the lake contains. It had a great djungle/bush vibes with giraffes and elephants surprising in the dense forest. We were not lucky to see any cats.

Little to see, expensive and repetitive

Have only had limited time in the park and therefore only seen a small portion of it. Have been there twice and not seen any cats or main predators.

The least interesting of all the parks, not much wildlife and not much to see. The lake is nice but in my opinion is not worth it.
