The Best Time to Visit Lake Manyara National Park is during the dry season, which typically occurs from June to October. During this period, the vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot, and the animals tend to congregate around the lake and other water sources, providing excellent opportunities for game viewing. Additionally, the dry season coincides with the peak tourist season, offering optimal weather conditions for exploring the park's attractions.
