Safari in Lake Manyara

We were picked up for our safari after having breakfast with our fellow (very sore) climbers. The Land Rover, driven by Rama, took us through Arusha to Lake Manyara Park. It was about a 4 hour drive and we spent a few hours in the park before it began to rain. We first saw baboons, then monkeys, giraffes, zebra, hippos, and misc. birds. We looked over the park, in the pouring rain, for elephants, and found two before we left for the day. We are spending the night in a luxury tented lodge, which is quite nice. Tomorrow we head to Ngornogoro Crater for more big game watching.Read more
