Manyara is sanctuary to elusive buffalo and hippo, giraffe, impala, zebra and the famous residents- tree climbing lions.Lake Manyara itself is a magnet for birdlife and a kaleidoscope of different species can be found around its shores, including huge flocks of flamingoes. The park is ideal for a day trip.A four-wheel drive is recommended during the rains. The dry season is from June to September andJanuary to February.

  Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a huge area containing active volcanoes,mountains, archeological sites, rolling plains, forests, lakes, dunes and of course,Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge. The views at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater are sensational. On the crater floor,grassland blends into swamps, lakes, rivers, woodland and mountains - all a heavenfor wildlife, including the densest predator population in Africa. The crater is home to upto 25,000 large mammals, mainly grazers - gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and warthog. Ngorongoro is the Eighth Wonder of

the World not only that but also designated as a World Natural Heritage Site.In the northern, remote part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will find Olmotiand Empakaai Craters, Lake Natron and Oldoinyo Lengai, Mountain of God, as named bythe Maasai. Lake Natron is the only known breeding ground for East Africa's flamingoes. The ruins of a terraced stone city and complex irrigation system lie on the eastern sideof Empakaai - the Engakura Ruins. Their origins are a mystery as there is no traditionof stone building in this part of Africa.

Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is on of the world's last great wildlife refuges. This vast area of land supports the greatest remaining concentration of plain game in Africa, on a scale unparalleled anywhere else in the world. The name comes from the Maasai 'Siringet', meaning endless plains. Equal in size to Northern Ireland, the Park contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature's wonders.The annual migration of more than 1.5 million wildebeests as well as hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles is triggered by the rains. The wet season starts in November and lasts until about May. 

Generally the herds congregate and move out at the end of May. Their movement is a continual search for grass and water - the moving mass of animals requiring over 4,000 tons of grass each day. The exodus coincides with the breeding season whichcauses fights among the males. As the dry season sets in the herds drift out of the West,one group to the North, the other north-east heading for the permanent waters of the northern rivers and the Mara. The immigration instinct is so strong that animals die in the rivers as they dive from the banks into the raging waters, to be dispatched by crocodiles.The survivors concentrate in Kenya's Maasai Mara National reserve until the grazing there is exhausted, when they turn south along the eastern and final stage of the migration route.

Before the main exodus, the herds are a spectacular sight, massed in huge numbers with the weak and crippled at the tail end of the procession, followed by the patient, vigilent predators.The vegetation in the Serengeti ranges from the short and long grass plains in the south, to the acacia savannah in the centre and the wooded grassland concentrated around tributariesof the Grumeti and Mara rivers. The western corridor is a region of wooded highland and extensive

plains reaching to the edge of Lake Victoria. The Seronera Valley in the Serengeti is famous for the abundance lion and leopard that canusually be seen quite easily. The adult male lions of the Serengeti have characteristic black manes.

Hot air balloon safaris is very rewarding experience in serengeti, masai mara kenya.Balloon safaris will enable you to have panoramic view of wildlife.

Tarangire National Park
The permanent water supply of the Park means that during the summer,the animal population here rivals that of the Serengeti with wildebeest,zebra, eland, elephant, hartebeest, buffalo, gerenuk, fringe eared oryxand flocks of birds of many different species. Prime game viewing monthsare between September and December.

Olduvai Gorge
Olduvai Gorge is the Archaeological Site in the northeast of Tanzania within Ngorongoro Conservation Area, in which early human fossils were first discoveredin 1911 by German entomologist who was looking for butterflies. The name wasderived from early European miss spelling of "Oldupai" the Maasai name for the plantsthat grow in that area. It has amazing landscape that resulted from the tectonic forces,which created the Great Rift Valley million of years ago. Long ago the area was coveredby ancient salt lake, which vanished, and leaving salt deposits exposed in its walls

 until today. The steep sided gorge is nearly 90 meters high and its extension is50 kilometers long. The importance of this area lies on the uncovered archeological remains; fossils remain, including the bones of early hominids, stone tools, marksand a building site. Other sites within the area are Laetoli site, Lake Ndutu Sites,and Nasera Rock Shelter. Apart from Olduvai Gorge, which reminds us of the originof mankind, there are also the ruins of the ancient city, which are marked by stoneterrace and the complex irrigation system at Engaruka.You will not find giraffe as there is not much to eat at tree level, or topi, becausethe competition with wildebeest is too fierce, nor will you find impala. The crater

elephants are strangely, mainly bulls. There are a small number of black rhinos here too.The birdlife is largely seasonal and is also affected by the ratio of soda to freshwater in Lake Magadi on the crater floor.

The Big Five
You may hear of the Big Five before going on Safari, from an old book, or from a nature documentary.

Today, they are five of the animals which people most want to see while on Safari. One hundred years ago, amid pith helmets, mosquito boots, and 'darkest Africa', the Big Five were the most sought after animals to hunt. They were the fiercest, the most dangerous animals; the animals that wouldhunt the hunter.

Explorers of East Africa went home with stories of lions and leopards in the tall African grass,of rhinos that would charge at the mere smell of a person, of the buffalo hidden in the bushes, and of the terrors of an enraged elephant.

Most safari tours are 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days and we send you detailed itinerary based on daily activities. While on safari you can visit maasai villages,bushmen in lake eyasi, and do some extra activities like balloon safaris,camel safaris,walking safaris and horse back riding.
