Lake Manyara National Park
Ngorongoro Farmhouse
Lake Manyara National Park is situated at the base of the
Great Rift Valley Escarpment, with fresh water filtering down through
the ancient underground waterways of Ngorongoro. This
location is especially good for monkeys, hornbills,
and little bee-eaters.
Ngorongoro Farmhouse is a small and exclusive lodge facing
the Oldeani Volcano, only 5 kilometers from the Ngorongoro
Loduare gate, and was built to offer clients an original experience
reminiscent of the atmosphere of the old days. I found the food
here extraordinary! Beautifully manicured property with a very
relaxing atmosphere. This image below might not be so
relaxing through your viewfinder!!

This is our travel home day, so we can sleep in, and then our guides
take us into a very cool craft market. I went straight to the
area where the villager carve and create these extraordinary
pieces of art, all by hand. I found the prices very reasonable
with a bit of negotiating, and brought home about nine
small carvings ($45.00 US) for our living room table.
From here, we can go back to our room, or go directly to the
airport depending on our flight schedule.
