3. Nov – day 2 (a): Kilimanjaro Airport to Lake Manyara
After a good breakfast we started our tour with the Remote Safari Company in 3 safari-type Landcruisers from our KIA Kilimanjaro Airport Lodge. It was overcast, but it cleared after a few hours and got very warm. We drove north through Arusha towards the Lake Manyara National Park. The roads were good, with not too much traffic. First stop was at some shops with a nearby restaurant with ‘wash room’, to meet our local tour representative, before we continued to Lake Manyara.
The small rainy season had not started yet, so it was very dry. In 2006 it had rained on our way to Lake Manyara and the landscape was very green.
