Family Life at Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania (10 Photos)

Lake Manyara National Park, is located in Tanzania.  At about 90 square miles, it’s a smaller park.  Don’t let that dissuade you, it’s but full of beauty, including the lake itself and plenty of wildlife.

1:  It was difficult to get them to pose for this family portrait.  Someone was having nothing of it.


2:  Judging by how torn up this elephant’s ears are, it can’t be an easy life.


3: If there was any doubt that elephants travel in a line.  Notice how the calves are strategically placed between adults to protect them from predators.


4:  Of all the mammals in Africa, hippos are the meanest and most aggressive towards humans who get too close to them.  They are also deceptively fast.


5:  Hippos however don’t care if you are a stork.
