Lake Manyara National Park
Today we traveled from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park. It took us a while to find Malarone tablets for my friends in Arusha, but we managed to get hold of them in two hours time. We reached the gate of the Lake Manyara National Park by midday and spent some five hours in the park. Then we climbed up the Great Rift Valley escarpment and arrived safely to Karatu town where we spend the night. Tomorrow morning we drive to Ngorongoro crater, then to Serengeti and will arrive, God willing, to Lobo Lodge by the nightfall. Some photos from today safari (click here)...

The Highway
Living in Kiabakari in Mara Region, it is a long journey for me to get to Arusha and further on to the coast. You need to go through Serengeti and Nogorongoro on dirt road or to take a detour through Mwanza, Shinyanga, Nzega, Singida and further on. The proposed so called Serengeti Highway which construction apparently has got a green light to go from the President of the United Republic of Tanzania and the Government, which would shorten our journey to Arusha significantly, poses huge controversy and raises fears of many that this may threaten the Serengeti National Park as we know it, along with Maasai Mara on the other side of the border in Kenya - especially the great migration of the wildebeests and other animals...myself included, even if I might be one of the beneficiaries of the project!
