The flora of Lake Manyara National Park is diverse, with over 670 flowering plant and fern species documented. Most are widespread species; there are few rare or endemic species. The park has a variety of diverse habitats. Rivers flowing off the escarpment and perennial springs below the rift wall support tall, evergreen groundwater forests dominated by Trichilia with Broad-Leaved Croton, sycamore fig, quinine tree, and forest toad-tree. Trees are densest in gorges, along the edge of streams, and in areas where springs emerge. Growing at the edge of the groundwater forest are dense stands of yellow fever trees and the Phoenix palms.

The best months of the year to visit the park for a Tanzania tour is during the dry season in the months with the lowest rainfall. These are the months of July, August, and September which are the driest months of the year, and the warmest months are January, February, and March. These months have the lowest average number of rainy days as well as the highest average high temperature.

The park is part of the popular northern safari circuit. Arusha is the gateway town and the best way to get there is to fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), which is situated about 46km/29mi from Arusha. It is also possible to fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam and fly on to Arusha Airport (ARK) or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
