Thank you for your review - we're sorry to hear you had some frustrations on your journey. Unfortunately, there are only a few scheduled flights each day, so if your inbound flight does not arrive in time to get you onto the earliest outbound transfer, there is an unavoidable wait at the airport. We're sorry and surprised you didn't enjoy Lake Manyara - it is one of Tanzania's top 3 attractions and usually delivers a great game viewing experience against the scenic beauty of the mountains, lake, woodlands and savannah. Naturally, every reserve is a wild place with many factors influencing a visitor's enjoyment, like the weather, the movement of game, the time of day the game drive happens, the general mood of the visitor, and the quality of the guide. Tarangire National Park is one of the least visited parks in Tanzania, and it sounds like your fellow travellers had all the right factors to have great experience there.
