Location
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world covering an area of 14,763 square kilometers. The spectacular concentration of plain animals found nowhere in the worlds and the annual wildebeest migration.
Apart from the wildebeests and zebras, you can expect to see a large variety of animals; gazelles and hippos will be found there at any time of the year. Elephants will be frequently seen, but the population is migratory. The Serengeti predators made famous by many films and documentaries include lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena.
The birds of the Serengeti are just as spectacular and varied as the animals. There are several types of eagles and vultures, ostrich, secretary birds, kori bustards, hornbills as well as a host of small birds. There are almost 500 species of birds recorded in the parks.
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Conservation Area (crater) is a world-famous geographic feature. It is technically called a “caldera”, which is a collapsed volcano. The floor covers an area of over 102 square miles which includes a soda lake and forms a perfectly preserved and self-contained habitat for a large number and variety of animal species such as elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and many other species can generally be seen here at any time of year.
Maasai tribesmen traditionally graze night, and they may be seen in their distinctive dress, tending to their herds of cattle. The animals are not trapped in the crater. There is some migratory movement, but because of the protected nature of the habitat and the availability of grazing and water, many of the animal population remains resident year around. This makes Ngorongoro ideal for game viewing. There are several feelings of pride of lions and some of the last surviving to be found in Tanzania.
The lodges and campsites are situated around the rim of the crater. This makes the clients view the crater all the time while in a lodge or campsite.
