Lake Manyara National Park

About Destination: An all-in-one safari adventure that gets you the best of the big game, African safari experience that many desire.


Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit Lake Manyara National Park for the game viewing is in the dry season from July to October. For water activities such as canoeing and bird watching, the best time to go is during the wet season from November to June.


What to See: The varied landscape, from dense, lush forests to wide open floodplain, means you can see everything from hundreds of species of birds to giraffes, elephants, buffalo, and zebra. You can also see warthogs, leopards along with lions leaping from tree to tree. The park is the perfect starting point for beginner bird watchers as it offers both day and night game drives, biking tours and forest walks.


Makes this Park Unique: Its close proximity to Ngorongoro makes a small section of this park very busy year-round. However, if you choose to take a safari longer than a half-day tour, you can see the less explored sides of Lake Manyara, such as the cultural walking tours, canoeing along the lake, and the migrating birds. Choosing to camp within the park is truly magical, to sleep among the serenity of your surroundings and experiencing the interior of the park before anyone else.
