Sunset on the mountains above Lake Manyaro safari park. We were running late at this point and should have been at our campsite. But before too long, we had a third puncture, this time in the pitch dark and fortunately because there were 2 jeeps there was another spare tyre.

When we did finally find the campsite, 4km up a red dirt track, the porters had to erect the tens by the light of the moon, and paraffin lamps which had been left on for our arrival. Even in the dark it was a magical place, with typical tropical/jungle/safari animal noises all around. We were, yet again, served a delicious meal spread out on a table laid before us under the stars. This was the first time I had tasted Goat and it was very good. A big camp fire was lit and we reclined around the heat of the flames with a glass of red wine. Being a white wine drinker, this was indeed a change for me, but it was just perfect for that situation, and I think I could become quite partial to red wine in the right circumstances!!
