Day 4

Ngare Sero Waterfalls and Hominid Footprints

Ngare Sero Waterfalls and Hominid Footprints

In the morning, your guide will take you for an adventurous walk to the waterfalls (make sure to bring walking shoes). Several Maasai villages are found nearby and your guide for the hike will be a Maasai. Engaresero Footprint Site is reported to host one of the best-preserved sets of fossilized hominid footprints in the world. However, until now there has been no detailed characterization and age determination of the footprint-bearing strata (the Footprint Tuff). The over 400 footprints are between 5,000 to 19,000 years old and came to scientists’ attention in 2008. They cover a cordoned-off area slightly larger than a tennis court. The Engaresero footprints are intriguing because of the abundance and diversity of prints; some tracks seem to show people ‘jogging’ while another implies a person with a strange, perhaps broken, toe and others point in the direction of a dozen people, mostly women and children, traveling together.

Day 5

Flamingo Lake Walk at Lake Natron

Flamingo Lake Walk at Lake Natron

The Rift Valley’s Lake Natron is the chosen mating ground of the endangered lesser flamingoes. The long-legged waterfowl may flourish here, but to most other living creatures, Lake Natron is hell on earth. The lake’s steeply alkaline waters are unattractive to small birds, while the lake flats provide a variety of environments for birds that do well in the alkali oasis. Best time to spot birds at Lake Natron: the flamingos of Natron lay their eggs normally during the end of the dry season in September and October but the hatching starts in the early parts of the wet season and climaxes by December.

Lake Natron
Accommodation:

Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

Today, you will drive to South Serengeti. The whole day you will be on a game drive and exploring the wonderful world of the animals who are living in Serengeti.

At the end of the day, you will head to Ndutu/South Serengeti where you will stay overnight at Africa Safari South Serengeti. The area is famous for the calving season of the Great Migration, an absolute highlight of the annual wildebeest migration. The short rains in November and December provide nutritious pastures for the wildebeest, which stay in the area until the end of the long rains. Most calves are born in January and February. The open grassy plains offer them some safety, but these young wildebeest attract hungry predators, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. Between April and November, the south-eastern plains dry out, but there is still an abundance of game in the area. There are in fact two water sources, Lake Masek and Lake Ndutu, where many wild animals come to drink.
