Early Morning Drive from Arusha to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro is indeed a natural wonder, an extinct Volcano that collapsed around 25 million years ago thus forming a vast super bowl where almost every game can be spotted. You will have clear views from the top of the crater; this is the most exciting angle to feel the nature.

You will see animals like buffalos, Zebras, wildebeest, gazelle that depend on the open grasslands in the crater. As these animals graze, the predators are also in the corner waiting to get their share.

Carnivores include; the black-manned lion, the leopard and hyena. You will see a soda lake which attracts countless water birds like flamingoes which is also a favorite place for carnivores to kill. Perhaps this is the reason why Ngorongoro is called the ‘”Garden of Eden’’.

Day 4-5

Early Morning Drive from Ngorongoro Conservation Area en-route to Serengeti National Park

Early Morning Drive from Ngorongoro Conservation Area en-route to Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth. The essential features of climate, vegetation and fauna have barely changed in the past million years. Early man himself made an appearance in Olduvai Gorge about two million years ago. Some patterns of life, death, adaptation and migration are as old as the hills themselves.

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 & 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 & protected areas and through a variety of habitat. Join us to explore the different forms of vegetation and landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem & meet some of their most fascinating inhabitants.
