Manyara National Park
Up at 6:00 a.m. for breakfast, we left for our first safari by 7:00 a.m. Our van was specially equipped with a roof that lifted 3 feet above the vehicle giving us open air access to view the park. We were able to ride sitting or standing.
The adventure began with baboons, blue monkeys, spider monkeys and velvet monkeys entertained us with their hi-jinks. At one point, as we neared a family of baboons we witness mommy baboon quickly snatch her youngster from a nearby branch and whisk it away to a safe distance from humans.
We were also blessed to see lions, hippos, flamingos, a warthog, giraffes and a number of elephants. The baby elephant and his mother were the highlight of the morning.
