"Lake Manyara Safari review"

Based at Lemala Ngorongoro on 3 Oct 2021
"We actually had relatively low expectations based on reading other reviews. We were stunned by the amount of wildlife we saw.

Had we not gone on to see Ngorongoro and Serengti we would have still checked off many of the animals we hoped to see including elephant, lion, buffalo, klipspringer, baboon, monkey, giraffe, bushbuck, and a variety of birds. Many of them up close!" Read more about this whole safari

"Lake Manyara Safari review"

Based at Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge on 21 Jul 2021
"We liked this safari for its immersive experience, with the tight roads were you would suddenly see wildlife.

Was able to see the lions in the trees and lion cubs up close." Read more about this whole safari

"Lake Manyara Safari review"

Based at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge on 4 Jun 2021
"I would call it ‘trash Lake’ Manyara.

The road through the forest arrives in the lake and it is not possible to go on because of high level of water.

In the shore and shallow waters, a multitude of plastic and trash of all kinds, plus troops of baboons, the only sighting." Read more about this whole safari

"Lake Manyara Safari review"

Based at Lemala Ngorongoro on 4 May 2021
"May is probably not the best time to visit Lake Manyara NP.

The lake shores are all flooded, and as expected the flamingos were gone.

The park is yet still very pretty to visit during that time of the year due to its forest, as well as its birds and monkeys." Read more about this whole safari

"Warm-up safari with some nice sightseeing"

Based at Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge on 17 Oct 2020
"Lake Manyara park is not really comparable to Ngorongoro or Serengeti, but it is ok to visit the first day, just to warm-up. Also the view on the lake is beautiful, and we saw many lions." Read more about this whole safari

"Lake Manyara Safari review"

Based at Kirurumu Manyara Lodge on 6 Oct 2019
"Lake Manyara was a really special park. Small but quite diverse.

We didn't see the tree climbing lions (or any lions for that matter), but our guide/driver was in communication over the radio with others in the park and i don't believe any lions were seen that day. What we did see however were lots of elephants, incredibly close up.

Really enjoyed our day here." Read more about this whole safari
