We passed through this park briefly and did an evening drive so can say far less about this park than others. The scenery was lovely and there was wildlife stretching into the distance. The evening drive was less eventful.

Lovely small park with dense trees and a beautiful lake. Bit of a rainforest feeling. Lots of monkeys and elephants to spot, amongst other animals.

There are not many wild animals and there is a boring feeling.

Lake Manyara has such a beautiful vegatation with huge trees - even without the animals, the park itself, the lake and the vegetation would be worthy!
This was also the park with less cars and people, and I felt less stress within the animals.

Heaven for elephants and baboons
Lake Manyara also gives you the opportunity to go on a walking safari. An armed park ranger took us on an hour and a half hike, which was an excellent experience getting to experience the bush on foot and learn about the plants and animal signs from the ranger. We got lucky and saw a mother and juvenile elephants drinking at a stream. Wow, what a thrill! It was actually pretty intense because the mother

started walking in our direction and could have easily charged over the stream, but the park ranger handled it with aplomb and made some loud noises to turn the elephant around.Lake Manyara was our last stop on our safari. To me I enjoyed it just as much as the heavy hitters like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Better than Tarangire (though I saw Tarangire in February and it's probably better in the dry season when the wildlife is more concentrated).

Lake Manyara was a nice trip. We did not see as many animals as we did in the other parks. No tree climbing lions. We did see hippos, giraffes, buffalo, several birds including pelican and flamingo, and more.

Lake Manyara Park is a stunning place: it looks more like an asian jungle than an african forest. The trees are full of monkeys. Elephants emerge from the thick forest, breaking trees. Over the years, the lake has expanded, incorporating the dying trees from the banks, forming a spectacular petrified forest that emerges from the waters, a truly evocative sight.
