Today started with a ride from the lodge near Ahursa to Lake Manyara. The distance may not look far on a map; this is not I-494 or I-35W. The trip took a bit over 3 hours on roads that were either crowded, rutty, under construction or any combination that doesn’t make for a quick trip.
Lunch was at the Lodge overlooking Lake Manyara followed by our first game drive leaving at 3:30 this afternoon.
We left the lodge at 3:30 for Lake Manyara National Park, arriving at the park a half hour later. We first saw a group of baboons, then blue monkeys, violet monkeys, water buck and warthogs. A herd of zebra, 2 giraffes, and a group of elephants were the high lights.
Certainly a good starting day, it looks like I managed to take 196 pictures today. Tomorrow we head to Serengeti.
Internet is slow here, I'll try to add more after I get home.
