Lake Manyara National Park

Best Time To Visit

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.

  • Elephants: The park is home to a thriving population of African elephants, which can often be seen grazing along the lakeshore or moving through the forested areas in search of food and water.
  • Hippos and Crocodiles: The shores of Lake Manyara provide habitat for large numbers of hippos and crocodiles, offering excellent opportunities for observing these aquatic creatures up close.
  • Flamingos: The alkaline waters of Lake Manyara attract flocks of flamingos, creating a stunning pink hue against the backdrop of the lake and surrounding landscape.
  • Birdlife: Lake Manyara is a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 400 bird species recorded within the park, including colourful kingfishers, herons, storks, and the iconic African fish eagle.
