When to visit
Lake Manyara National Park can be visited all year round. It depends on what you would like to see.

The dry season lasts from June to October. Since the vegetation becomes thinner around this time of the year it will be comparatively easier to spot the animals for you. Wild animals will also come out to sip water from the lakes and pools, so there are higher chances of you spotting them.

The wet season lasts from November to May. At this time of the year, the park will appear more scenic with its lush vegetation and water gushing down the escarpment. Birds will be present in a higher number too. The wildlife will be hard to spot within the dense vegetation, however. So people who are interested in the flora of the region and the birds will benefit more.
