Lake Manyara National Park Game Drive

We left camp and went around to the entrance to the park by 10, after stopping at a mechanic to have a starter relay replaced as it caused us problems the day before.

The park is a different ecosystem, being on the slopes of the Great Rift, it has a lot of year-round water. The forest is tropical or near tropical and thicker than the open landscape so the wildlife is more difficult to see, but the overall drive is very pleasant with shade trees, babbling brooks and a lot more green than brown.

We saw mostly animals seen before, but with a few new water birds. There were more large troops of baboons than I have seen before.

We stayed the might at the very lovely Bougainvilla Lodge in Karatu after some confusion as the tour office had listed a different hotel on the itinerary, but had to change it apparently.Meer informatie
