With internationally famous game parks like Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Manyara, where wildlife roam in teeming numbers, a safari here is an unbelievable experience.
Lake Manyara’s tree-climbing lions are perhaps the most celebrated spectacle of Lake Manyara Park, along with the pink flamingos, which decorate the shallow soda lake, one of more than 400 species of bird found here.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site, is a huge sunken crater, with 2 000 foot sheer walls, which create a spectacular natural amphitheatre. It houses a diverse range of eco-systems and visitors have a very good chance of spotting all of the ‘Big Five’ on any given day. Situated between Lake Manyara and the Serengeti National Park, the area comprises the Ngorongoro Crater itself and Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of mankind.
The famous Serengeti National Park is known to the Masai as the ‘endless plains’ for good reason. The park is the wildebeest’s chosen location for their epic annual migration, hailed as the world’s most incredible natural spectacle. |
