Too often ... would men boast only of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen.

    • Name of Shop: Roadside stalls

    Local artisans sell wooden (teak, rosewood and ebony), elephant hair and cotton batik crafts in stores that you can find on the eastbound side of the road between Arusha and Lake Manyara.

    Always haggle and never pay the ridiculous prices that they initially quote you.

    We found these stores to be the most reasonably priced and had the most selection of anywhere on the Safari tour.

    What To Buy: Wooden Crafts - candlesticks, masks, maasai warrior busts, etc
    Batik designs of cloth, elephant hair bracelets, beaded jewelery

    What To Pay: Never pay the asking price, but haggle. Start with 50% of asking price and work your way up.

    Theme: Local Craft
    Address: East side of the Arusha-Lake Manyara highway
    Directions: Headed towards the park, just as you leave Mosquito village behind, the stalls are on your left hand side. There are a number of them scattered all along the highway.

     Great. This is supposed to be the only park where lions regularly go up into the trees. Did you see any?    		mrclay2000 Tue Apr 12, 2005 15:48 UTC
