Pictures (and one video) from Dec 7th. Lake Manyara National Park

In the morning Ryan and I went out again with Lori for a sunrise walk.

The colors were great in the pinkish dawn light.

Lake Manyara National Park

Elephants

We saw several herds of elephants in the Manyara. They were harder to find and see because of the forest. But here (link) is a very short video (only 5 seconds) of a herd we got close to at a waterhole. 
 This is a very typical scene driving to the park. Many women carried items on their heads.
I'm ready to roll! 
A shoehorn hopped around and posed for us.
 This is a black-faced vervet monkey. We saw several troups of these while on safari.
 Cape Buffalo. They are very large cattle.
 Hippos in the distance.
And up close. 
Hippos. They are very territorial. They stay in groups, called crashes of one male and three to six females. 
An Egyptian goose. 
 This is a lone bull giraffe.
Here are two mature but young males. 
The beautiful lodge where we stayed on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. 
The crater is about 10 miles across.
