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.
