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.

kilometres 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
Day 11: Serengeti - Ngorongoro crater

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 drawcard 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
