Partyway through our afternoon by Lake Manyara, we came to a place where the road reached a dry river bed. The mud looked like it had recently washed down from higher ground as it flowed over the road and on to the lake. We paused to take in the view and caught a glimpse of an elephant walking down the rover bed toward us. Soon it became apparent that this wasn't a single elephant, but rather a whole family including babies to young to have cut their first tusks yet. Excited, we grabbed our cameras and started snapping photos. As this family passed, another group of pachyderms approached from a different angle. The flood of elephants just let coming. In total, five elephant families of about 10 elephants each passed us in that spot over the course of about 30 minutes. Take that bog five, we are barely halfway through our safari and we have seen you all.
