Write a User ReviewLake Manyara is worth a visit, to be sure. Probably my least favorite of all the parks visited, but not a bad place at all! One night here is plenty. The sunset/sunrise views over the Lake from the high location of Lake Manyara Hotel are worth the visit alone.

Our family did not have enough time to fully see and rate the park.

Lake Manyara feels slightly different from the other parks in northern Tanzania and that makes it a special place. And of course, you have tree climbing lions here, very special indeed.

This is a small park near Arusha and had the most visitors we encountered. Because of the season, it has the least animals. However, we did see the flamingos!

I loved the wildlife we saw, the accommodations we stayed in - everything. All combined to give you a wonderful Africa experience.

This was our first park. It seemed a little smaller than the others we visited but, it was much more lush. We observed a variety of baboon and monkeys here that we did not see elsewhere. Convenient to lodging and was not crowded at all. Great introduction. We stayed at Kirimuru Tents which was awesome!
Great scenaries around the lake. Cats, giraffes and elephants easily spotted while they go to the lake to drink at evening or inside the vegetation on the way to the lake. Rich also of hippos, flamingos and many other species of birds. Sunset is great moment to go, lovely colours on the horizon. On the way to the park, one may think to make a stop in the Mtowambu village: Very interesting the guided tour aroiund the village, organised by local people and with provents going to local population. One day is in my view enough.
