Northern Tanzania between safaris and populations
Serengeti National Park: Elephants at Seronera area
This morning we wake up when it is still dark, we are in the savannah, and more precisely in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania; waking up before dawn, feeling the fresh air that enters the tent, getting dressed and going for breakfast when it starts to dawn is one of the most beautiful things in our life.

We left the Serengeti National Park, through the Naabi Hill gate; these days we have made excellent safaris, as always in the Serengeti I would say, also it was the first time we visited the park during the green season, so we are happy and satisfied, but now our journey must continue.

Today we do a safari in the Manyara Lake National Park and, since it is not very big, we can take it a bit more calmly and do not wake up at dawn, as we can turn it all in one day.
We leave at 9.00 am from our camp, we cross the town of Mto Wa Mbu and in a moment we are at the entrance of the national park.
It is the first time we visit this park and we are very happy to see it.

Today we visited the town of Mto Wa Mbu, it is one of the most interesting places to visit, if you want to find out more about how the population of Tanzania lives.
The area of Mto Wa Mbu is very fertile, because here there is water all year long, thanks to the river with the same name Mto Wa Mbu; therefore in this area, in the past, the cultivation of land was encouraged by the state, with the consequent migration of many people belonging to different tribes, about 120, who still live in this town.

This morning we woke up sad because today we go back home, but we are happy because we have had a wonderful journey in our beloved Tanzania.
We close our suitcases and after breakfast we check out from our tented camp; Sir Stanley Speke is already there at the reception waiting to take us to the airport, we load the suitcases and go.
We are in Mto Wa Mbu, from here, with the new speed limits, it takes about 2 hours to get to Arusha and from there it takes another hour, if there is no traffic, to arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport .
The flight from Nairobi to Frankfurt brought us back to Europe and to the cold, how better it was in Tanzania!
Our Lufthansa flight was perfect, we flew in the premium economy class and, after having dinner, we slept for almost the whole trip.
When we arrived at Frankfurt we were greeted by a bitter cold, we were not ready for this thermal shock!
As always at the end of a journey, besides starting to program another one, it is the moment when the sums are drawn, and this time too we have done this exercise:
