Tarangire National Park is best known for its baobab trees and its year-round population of elephants, where it is common to see herds of up to 300 elephants of all ages and sizes. However, predators are also well represented, along with over 550 different species of birds, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. It is the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem and the one place in Tanzania where fringe-eared oryx and the long-necked gerenuk can be observed. For instance, Migratory wildebeest, zebra, and other thirsty nomads crowd the shrinking lagoons. Lions early wait for the next chance to hunt.

Two weeks safari, Day 3: Serengeti National Park

At the end of breakfast you will leave for the Serengeti national park with a picnic lunch.

In short, it is the grandest spectacle of wildlife in Africa. However, they envision the accurate Great Migration, a column of wildebeest 24 miles( 40km) long, shuffling across the plains two or three abreast, all to the move searching for fresh, green grass. To illustrate: now suppose it takes more than two weeks for that column of animals to cross a spot. For instance, when they huddle together to protect themselves, give birth or escape in panic from the jaws of a crocodile.
Also, lions and hyenas prow the scene looking for the weakest animal or the lone straggler separated from its herd. Indeed, you have only now visualized the wonderful phenomenon of the Great Serengeti Migration.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, enjoy a full-day drive at the Mara river viewing the great migration river crossing. You will return to your camp for the evening bonfire, dinner and overnight.

Above all, more than 2 million migrating animals participate in this annual journey: 1.5 million wildebeest, 400,000 zebra, and 300,000 Gazelles accompanied by various goals: to find fresh, green grass. So the Great Migration takes place throughout the year. Prey and predator follow a relatively predictable but variable annual cycle dependent on rainfall and abundant green grass. The Great Migration in Serengeti is unique!

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), measuring 8,300 square kilometres, is the only place on earth where humankind and wild animals co-exist in harmony. Above all, the Ngorongoro crater sinks to a depth of 610 meters, with a base area covering 260 square kilometres. Thereby, the height of the original volcano must have ranged between 4,500 to 5,800 meters high.

Furthermore, from the central caldera, Ngorongoro Crater has two volcanic. Olmoti and Empakai are famous for their stunning waterfalls, the latter holding a deep lake and kuso green walls.

Day 6: Lake Manyara- Arusha- Zanzibar

Lake Manyara’s most visible predators and its prime tourist attraction are lions, famous for their habit of climbing trees.

Lake Manyara

Why the lions of Lake Manyara National Park?.and not those of nearby Serengeti and Ngorongoro spend so much time in trees remains a mystery.

The acacia woodlands south of the Msasa River provide an ideal spot for the Lions to retreat to in the heat of the day.
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, the lions, the national park, is also home to the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world — a fact that accounts for interesting game viewing of large families of primates.

In Lake Manyara, you can see many animals such as impala, giraffe, zebra, and elephants are also common in this area. Also, a diverse collection of water birds, pelicans, storks, cormorants, geese,e and ducks congregate in abundance around Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara’s shoreline is the color of thousands of pink flamingos.
