Description

This safari will take you to the 3 National Parks of Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Parks and the Ngorongoro crater. Lake Manyara Lies in a shallow depression at the base of the eastern branch of the Rift Valley, backed by the red and brown cliffs of the escarpment to the west. This park is dominated by the Lake and the beautiful cool lushness of the mature groundwater forest. Primates including baboons, blue and vervet monkeys are among the most dominant mammalian species in the park. Other animal species found here are elephants, buffaloes, impalas, wildebeests, hippos, giraffes and zebras. Lions can also be seen, sometimes stretching in the branches of the Acacias. The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was established in 1952. It is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth – the great migration of wildebeest and zebra.

The resident population of lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and birds is also impressive. There’s a wide variety of accommodation available, from luxury lodges to mobile camps. The park covers 5,700 sq miles, (14,763 sq km).The Park can be divided into 3 sections. The popular southern/central part (Seronera Valley), is what the Maasai called the “serengit”, the land of endless plains. It’s classic savannah, dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River and has more forests and dense bushes. The north, Lobo area, which meets up with Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section. The Ngorongoro Crater encompasses the volcanic area around the Ngorongoro Crater, including the still active volcano of Ol’doinyo Lenkai (Lengai) and the famous Oldupai Gorge.

Ngorongoro has an area of 8600 square km. Its centrepiece, the Ngorongoro crater, is the largest intact, unfolded caldera in the world and is considered one of the eight wonders of the world. Home of the largest permanent concentration of wildlife in Africa. It is one of the areas on the continent for viewing the endangered black rhino. The Shifting sand is an extraordinary black dune which is composed of volcanic ash from Ol’doinyo Lenkai and is blown slowly westwards across the plains at the rate of approximately 100 meters in six years.
