Conservation & community

The water needs
looking after too

Lake Manyara's shoreline and the Momella wetlands are both under pressure from upstream farming and shrinking rain. A share of every Chanua booking goes to the Manyara catchment restoration group and to two ranger-led anti-poaching units in the crater highlands.

When to come

The year, by water level

Northern Tanzania has two rains. They change the lakes more than they change the game viewing.

  1. 01 Jan – Feb Short dry spell

    Calving season in the southern Serengeti; Manyara and the crater lake are both low and full of birdlife.

  2. 02 Mar – May Long rains

    Momella and Manyara fill fastest here. Fewer visitors, lower rates, and the springs run clear.

  3. 03 Jun – Oct Dry season

    Peak visibility everywhere, including the reef off Zanzibar. Book routes 2–3 months ahead.

  4. 04 Nov – Dec Short rains

    Brief afternoon showers, green landscapes, and the crater lake at its most reflective.
