Really amazing park with a big population of elephants 🐘. Definitely worth a visit. We stayed at Wayo Greencamp for three days.
Lake Manyara is one of the many parks in Tanzania, quite small relatively, but the only place you can see Blue Monkey's! There are Lions, Vervet Monkeys, Baboons, Giraffe, Elephants Hippos, Waterbuck, Klipspringer, and many of the other plains game. It has areas that are jungle type forest and open plains by the water. This is where one can find the greatest variety of waterbirds, Flamingo's, several species of Ibis, and Heron's, with many other of the 300 plus species of bird that Tanzania has to offer. Naturally it is a bird watchers and photographers paradise.
I originally wasn’t expecting much from Lake Manyara, but I was genuinely surprised by how much we saw, beautiful views of the lake and the birds and monkeys were adorable. The star of the show there are the elephants who aren’t afraid to let you know that you’re jeep is too close.
