8 days Serengeti wildebeest’s
migration
Day 1: Arrival – Arusha
Pick
up from Kilimanjaro airport on arrival and transfer you to Kibo Palace
Hotel for Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2 Arusha – Lake Manyara- Ngorongoro conservation area
Leave
Arusha at 0800 hrs and proceed to Lake Manyara national park for full day game
drives with packed lunches – proceed to Ngorongoro conservation area for dinner
and overnight stay at Ngorongoro Serena lodge. Located beneath the cliffs of
the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National
Park offers varied ecosystems, incredible bird life, and breathtaking views.
Lake Manyara’s famous tree-climbing lions are another reason to pay this park a
visit. The only kind of their species in the world, they make the ancient
mahogany and elegant acacias their home during the rainy season, and are a
well-known but rather rare feature of the northern park. In addition to the
lions, the national park is also home to the largest concentration of baboons
anywhere in the world — a fact that makes for interesting game viewing of large
families of the primates.
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater Tour
Early
breakfast then descend into to Ngorongoro Crater for a full day crater tour
with packed lunches ascend for dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
The Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ‘8th Natural
Wonder of the World,’ a visit to the crater is a main draw card for tourists
coming to Tanzania and a definite world-class attraction. The Ngorongoro
Conservation Area (NCA) is home of Ngorongoro Crater. It was formed some 2.5
million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due to inactivity, and was
initially thought to be higher than Tanzania’s famous Kilimanjaro. The crater
has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania’s eco-system. The
crater is actually a caldera, measures 22.5 km’s across and the rim walls stand
600m high. Views from within and from the rim are breathtaking (as can be seen
from the picture). The crater houses 30,000 animals and a large variety of
birds, which rarely move from the area due to the availability of water through
wet and dry seasons.
Day 4: Serengeti Ndutu Plains – Olduvai Gorge
After
breakfast drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area via Olduvai Gorge
archaeological site. At Olduvai Palaeo-anthropological diggings and discoveries
have taken place over many years, by, among others, the famous husband-and-wife
team of Louis and Mary Leakey. After leaving Olduvai we will soon be passing
through multitudes of wildebeest en route to the renowned Ndutu Area, ideally
situated under classic umbrella-thorn acacias in the heart of the southern
Serengeti where we spend the afternoon viewing herds of wildebeest/Zebras and
predators. Dinner and overnight stay at
Ndutu safari lodge or Luxury Tented camp.
Days 5 -7: Ndutu plains.
The
next 3 days will be spent exploring the grassy plains and woodlands in the
area, tracking the massed herds of wildebeest and zebra, witnessing the birth
of new calves and trailing predators such as lion, cheetah and hyena on the
hunt. The area also teems with other wildlife, including elephants, eland,
various gazelle species, Kirk’s dik-dik, giraffe and the elusive leopard. Ndutu
safari lodge or Luxury Tented camp. Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous
national park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers of
protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park It is the Migration
for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about
200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for
the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after
the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to
move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back. The
Wildebeest travel through a variety of parks, reserves and protected areas and
through a variety of habitat. Join us to explore the different forms of
vegetation and landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem and meet some of their
most fascinating inhabitants.
