Day 5: Lake Manyara Safari

On day 5, which was yesterday as of posting this (I'm catching up), Said took us on a safari to a local park. It was a 2.5 hour drive or so. Saw baboons, giraffe, elephant, black-faced monkeys, zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, buffalo, hippo, and antelope. Absent were lions, hyenas, cheetah, and leopard. Damn. I guess that means I'll have to come back. Was still a good trip.

Actually, one of the best parts of the safari was driving to the park. We went through Masaai land to get there. I'll post pictures of that too. The Masaai are always richly dressed in red garbs and usually herding animals. They live in small huts built in clusters. Thirty seconds left on my internet cafe time, gotta go!

We're going back to Kenya tomorrow.
