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

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!

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.

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

Lake 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.

We spent one day in Lake Manyara. The elephant viewing is wonderful here and the landscape is beautiful. There aren't a lot of predatory animals around so that is lacking, and the park is somewhat small so it feels like there are a lot of tourists around.

The park is quite small but has an unusual rain forest environment. The hotel overlooking Manyara has one of the most exciting swimming pools in the world - there is a thousand foot drop from one side.

Compared to other safari sites in Africa, this Park is really worth going.
