Up early Stone and I departed for Lake Manyara National Park. The park stretches for 30 miles along the base of the 1800 foot high Rift Valley Escarpment. Ernest Hemingway stated it as "the loveliest I had seen in Africa". First up was a stop at the local Maasai Village. The Maasai tribe is one of the most renowned tribes in Africa. We were greeted by the chief's son and the villagers who perform a traditional song and dance.
