Lake Manyara and the day of rest

“Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania is famous for elephants, baboons, and vervet monkeys. The landscape combines forests, savannas, and the shallow lake, offering a diverse safari full of wildlife”

Our last Safari day was at Lake Manyara National Park. Until a few years ago, the park was known for its large number of birds, especially flamingos. But unfortunately, due to climate changes, the lake is no longer alkaline and the birds had to migrate. Today, the park has many monkeys and elephants, and there are also big cats, zebras, giraffes, and all the animals commonly seen on safari. However, since the park has a lot of forest, it’s much harder to spot these animals. It was a more relaxed day for us: in the morning we went to the park for one last game drive, had a final lunch with our group, and then drove to Arusha, marking the end of this adventure. We said goodbye to the people who accompanied us during these five days and headed to our accommodation for the next two days.
I had a small accident the day before at the Ngorongoro Crater and twisted my ankle on a step (or, as I like to tell it, while escaping from a lion—much more exciting!). So we had to cancel the next day’s plan so I could rest my foot. We spent November 6th at the hotel, which was a little oasis in the city, resting and recharging for our last day in TanzaniaRead more
