High waters from the recent rains limited the accessibility to some of the park. Still saw quite a bit though.

Lake Manyara unfortunately is growing and therefore the water is taking over big parts of the national park. It is still a very nice visit but if time is limite, you can skip it. Still wildlife there is great!

Poorer than the others. Because of the season, the lake covered part of the land, we did not see the famous climbing tree lions.

very nice park but it is quite difficult to see the lions because they hide in the bush. I saw a lot of baboons, elephants and birds.

Forest more dense so we saw less animals, it was our last stop

A lot of trees and bush making it a bit more difficult to spot wildlife.
The lake offers a lot of birds though.

A nice part of the trip but not the best. Still worth a visit
