Close encounters of an Elephant-kind
Our first day on safari brought us to Lake Manyara National Park. The team spent about four hours driving around the park on a “game drive” where we saw hundreds of baboons, Vervet monkeys, Blue monkeys and lots of exotic birds, Impalas, hippos and elephants so close we could have touched them. Nothing dangerous, but wow was it surreal to see these massive mammals up close.
Everyone had a great day and enjoyed just relaxing while taking in the views.
We are currently staying at the beautiful Plantation Lodge just outside Karatu.
The team just finished a wonderful meal and are off to bed as we are headed out early tomorrow hoping to see some big cats!
