Lake Manyara National Park

Located in the northern part of Tanzania, Lake Manyara National Park is 126 kilometers west of Arusha Town.
The park is 330 square kilometers of which 220 sq kilometers is the lake.

This is our first actual day on safari. A goal of every safari is to see the "big five", which are:

Buffalo
Rhino
Elephant
Lion
Leopard

We'll see how we get on.

First we encounter Baboons, Baboons and more Baboons...


A couple even want a lift from us.	A youngster gets a ride on Mom's back.
Better still, another youngster just hangs on to Mom.	Here was a friendly pair.
Up close......	....and "hakuna matata"
And, a few playful monkeys joined us.
