Location
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is a national park in Tanzania‘s Manyara Region. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The Tarangire River is the primary source of freshwater for wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem during the annual dry season. The Tarangire ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras. During the dry season, thousands of animals concentrate in Tarangire National Park from the surrounding wet-season dispersal and calving areas.
The park covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles). The landscape is composed of granitic ridges, river valley, and swamps. Vegetation is a mix of Acacia woodland, Combretum woodland, seasonally flooded grassland, and baobab trees.
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is the largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera in the world formed about 2 to 3 million years ago. Its enormous scenery and abundance of wildlife merge to make it a wonder of the natural world. The collapsed volcano which left high walls of about 600 meters that somehow challenging your ability of vision as you gaze on to it. Geographically what has always been called Ngorongoro Crater mistakenly, it is rather the largest volcanic caldera in the world, with a floor of about 300 square kilometers (100 square miles).
Serengeti National Park
The name Serengeti was derived from the Maasai word ‘Siringet’ by the Maasai nomadic people’s language (maa) which means the endless plains. The word itself is enough explanation of the legendary African savannah plains. Serengeti National Park was established during the fortress conservation times where two big tribes of Maasai and Kuria were moved out of the Serengeti. Kuria people were forced to go to the areas around Lake Victoria while Maasai was moved towards the southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro, later in 1951 Serengeti was then announced as a national park.
Serengeti National park is Tanzania’s oldest park covering an area of about 14,763 sq km of endless rolling plains, which spread up to the Kenyan border and extends almost to Lake Victoria. The park is flourishing with magnificent wildlife and it is no doubt that it is the most famous wildlife area in Africa. UNESCO has established two World heritage sites and two Biosphere Reserve in this area. Its unique environment has inspired writers, filmmakers as well as numerous photographers and scientists.
Serengeti is the place where the world-renowned Great Wildebeest Migration during the months of November up to the Middle of August. The movement of the mass wild animals back and forth from Serengeti to Masai Mara in Kenya is an amazing natural phenomenon involving more than one million and a half wildebeests accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles walking thousands of miles in searching of green pastures and water. Serengeti National Park Wildebeests Migration seems to have outshined the richness of resident animals and birdlife that flourish in the Serengeti yearly around but the truth is that the park is always a wonderful place with or without the existence of the migration herds.
