Lake Manyara National Park. Loveliest in Africa

Lake Manyara National Park. Loveliest in Africa

Thankfully the only shooting allowed today in Manyara is through the camera. And despite the variety of wildlife available for ‘shooting’ and viewing, Lake Manyara lives under the shadow of its much popular neighbors; Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Ngorongoro Crater: Africa's Natural Zoo.

One of the lessons from my African safari was – choose your safari jeep well. If the vehicle breaks down, it can put paid to all your plans and joy can quickly turn to irritation. I was now sharing the rundown Landcruiser with an aggressive Brazilian man, a shouting Italian girl , a cursing American guy and one cranky girlfriend.

And we almost never made it to Ngorongoro. They tried to push -start the jeep on the sloping crater road but to no avail. They shoved us down into the crater alright but the jeep was dead.
