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.

A small park and so condensed wildlife, we had amazing up-close baboon and elephant encounters here. A day is enough to see the best of what it has to offer.

Very scenic park. Lots of baboons and monkeys. Beautiful scenery and forests but because of dense vegetation, harder to spot animals. We saw one elephant, a few antelope but mostly troop after troop of baboons.

It was very hard to see any wildlife with so many trees and the lake had also caused damage to some of the forest area.

I would skip Lake Manyara and spend your time elsewhere.

No flamingos, a lot of monkeys but less variety in comparison to the other parks

Small but perfectly formed - amazing ancient trees and interesting lake foreshore. Lots of animals.

Lots of wildlife here. The Terrain is different than the others. More trees and jungle like. Only place we saw the Blue Monkey.

Park is very forested, so much harder to see wildlife. And high water levels in the lake restricted access to lake viewing
