The next day, we went to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara is much smaller in size (330 sq km) in comparison to the other places we visited but it still offered some amazing sights and life lasting memories.
Every now and then, we would pass a herd of elephants and I loved seeing their range in age/size. When we stopped to watch them pass, they would walk single file from one side of the road to the other without looking back.
The baboons in the park weren't the least bit shy. When another car stopped to take pictures of them, these two quickly jumped on the hood to engage in some monkey business.
Our guide in Tanzania had a soft spot for birds and made sure to point out birds of all shapes and sizes during our trip. We thought these weaver nests were particularly interesting. The door to the nest is on the bottom to prevent snakes from sneaking in.
As we headed out of the park, we saw this monitor lizard slinking off into the brush off of the river bank. Monitor lizards are one of the largest lizards, only second to komodo dragons!
