In that case, it’s best to visit during the dry season (late June to October).Due to its lush vegetation, waterfall cascade, and wildlife gatherings, the most scenic period is in the wet season (November to May).

Some of the unique attractions in Lake Manyara National Park include:
Tree-climbing Lions –The park is one of the few places in the world where you can see tree-climbing lions. These lions are thought to have evolved this behaviour to escape from the heat and to gain a better vantage point for hunting.
Soda Lake – Lake Manyara is a soda lake, which means that it has a high concentration of salt and other minerals. This makes the lake a unique habitat for a variety of wildlife, including flamingos and other waterbirds.
Maasai Villages – Lake Manyara National Park is surrounded by Maasai villages. You can visit these establishments to gain insights into the way of life of these communities.
