Safari package, Day 02 : Manyara National Park

 

After breakfast at the Serena Mountain lodge ( 4-star), you will drive to lake Manyara National Park.
Lake Manyara’s most visible predators and its prime tourist attraction are lions, famous for their habit of climbing trees. 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.

Day 03 -04: Serengeti National Park

 

Over 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. Consequently, the Great Migration took place year-round. Prey and predator follow a relatively predictable but variable annual cycle dependent on rainfall and abundant green grass.

The Great Migration, is 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. Now imagine that it takes more than two weeks for that column of animals to cross a single spot. Image them bunched together in protective her, giving birth, or scrambling in a panic to escape the jaws of a snapping crocodile. Also, lions and hyenas prow the scene looking for the weakest animal or the lone straggler separated from its herd. Only now have you visualized the magnificent phenomenon of the Great Serengeti Migration.
