Best Time To Visit

Choosing the Best Time to Visit Lake Manyara National Park depends on your preferences. The dry season, from June to October, is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around the diminishing water sources, providing excellent opportunities for game drives. The wet season, from November to May, transforms the park into a lush, green paradise, attracting migratory birds and enhancing the scenic beauty. Whether you prioritize vibrant landscapes or prolific wildlife sightings, Lake Manyara welcomes visitors throughout the year.
