Thursday 27th June
Our lodge accommodation last night was very comfortable (we are in giraffe tent) and food was good. Very close to the park, so no wandering around at night. During the night and early morning we heard hyena howling (not sure if they call it a howl or bark).
Very overcast today and a little cooler than yesterday. Another game drive today in another national park – Lake Manyara National Park. This park is actually quite small – and more than half of it is the lake, so a limited area for game driving. There wasn’t a lot of game to be seen, though we did get quite a list, although most of the animals were only in ones and twos, not lots. The main claim to fame of the park is tree climbing lions – obviously a rostered day off for them today, none to be seen.

We had a break for lunch where we ate our packed lunch from the hotel. These packed lunches are really not too bad. There is plenty of food – and what we don’t eat our guide collects and passes it on to the locals.
Another lovely lodge for the next 2 nights. And again – no wandering around unaccompanied at night.
