It's a beautiful & scenic park with varied landscapes (dense forests, and the wide open expanses around the lake) and more giraffe than we have ever seen in one place. We did not, however, see the fabled "tree climbing lions" - which we saw plenty of in the Serengeti National Park.

Lush !
It is a refreshing new vista which you would not expect in Africa.Gorgeous scenery and we saw elephants up close .We were not lucky to see the tree climbing lions but saw wildlife in plenty.Lots of birds and trees and little rivulets which made it so pretty.Park facilities were excellent though we just visited for a day.

Lake Manyara is a perfect place for birdwatchers and a gentle introduction to safari for others.
We've seen lots of Elephants in the Lake Manyara National Park. Really, lots of them. And they were so close! We didn't manage to get so close to elephants in Serengeti as we did in Manyara.
It's also a terrific place for bird-watching. We were not a great birds enthusiasts but seeing so many flamingos at one place was a wonderful experience.
If you are not a birdwatcher I would recommend visiting Manyara before entering Serengeti. It's just a great introduction to Safari. You can also spend a night near Manyara in a comfortable lodge instead of campsite. Lodges are much cheaper here than in Serengeti or Ngorongoro.

One of The Beauty of Tanzania
When you get to the park you are greeted by a troop of baboons and free WiFi, so don't be shy to post pictures when you are there. The drive through the park you see beautiful birds like the African grey hornbill, then you will see giraffes and herds of elephants. The tour only gets better from there especially when you visit the hippo pool and get very close to more elephants crossing the road. The herds of African Buffalo are very eye catching notably when they start shaking their heads.

of Tanzanian best foods like samosa, chapati, kitumbua, many other eatables and some drinks and desert.The highlight apart from the whole enjoyment, was Moses who had a nice vehicle for a Safari and as a local he knew the best places and times to see the animals as they come out to feed or relax.

Beautifull place
I started my Tanzania trip in Lake Manyara and there was my first wildlife encounters of my eastern Africa trip
Drive around the Rift Valley is an awsome experience and we found a lot of wildlife there
Baboons, Blue and Vervet monkeys in the jungles, Elephants, giraffes, buffalos, waterbucks, dik dik, zebras, hippos are easy to spot
One of the best thinks is the new flamingo watching platform. I spent hours there watching and photographing flamingos.

Absolutely Worth it

Small but one of my favorite parks in Tanzania. Wildlife and birds are abundant, however depending on the water-level on Lake Manyara.
