Lake Manyara, located in the reserve sharing the same name, is surely one of the most beautiful lakes of the African continent. The wealth of its ecosystems make this a popular place for observing rich wildlife. A place that will delight the whole family.

My suggestion

Look after your belongings, the monkeys here are kings and will not hesitate to pinch your food if you don't keep it under constant surveillance.

My suggestion

Especially try to see the sunrise and sunset there. These are the best times of day to see the animals.
