This little monkey greeted us on the path while we were waiting to pay our entrance fees for Lake Manyara NP. Our guide's cash card wasn't working, then the lady went on her lunch break--so we also took our lunch break while we waited--and this monkey posed alot for us in the meantime.
This was the company we used for our 2-day/1-night camping safari. They were a good budget option. Their slogan says it all: "Almost the best for almost the least."
