Woke up at 6am feeling pretty good. Went to wash up and realized the showers were available, so back to the tent, grabbed soap/shampoo/towel, and showered. Not bad for a campsite. Breakfast was scrambled eggs & beans. I ate quite a bit, the most I've had in a few days. Packed up (actually the guides and cook did most of that). Lucky so far that it hasn't rained.
Drove to our next campsite just outside Lake Manyara NP. At first we looked like the only tourists, but then lots of overlanders showed up. Towards the evening we went on our first game drive. It was excellent -- saw all three of the Big 5 that were in this park (elephant, lion, buffalo), up really close! The safari trail was through big trees most of the time, occasionally at water holes.
Saw: lions, giraffes, elephants, baboons, buffalo, zebras, hyenas, jackals, guinea fowl, dik diks, impalas.
Back to the campsite, dinner, then saw a live performance. I bought a CD from them for $5.
