Tanzania Migration Safaris - Migration Safari 1- Lobo Special
Migration Safari 1- Lobo Special
Period : June - August
Day 1 - Depart from Arusha town to
Lake Manyara park
for game drives, dinner and overnight at Camp Site/Lodge
Lake Manyara National Park is
a small but scenic safari park, excellent for birdwatching and a good
area to find elephant, as well as the potential excitement of spotting a
legendary Lake Manyara tree-climbing lion.
Lake Manyara is a good soft introduction to the safari
experience. It is a magical and pretty park that winds its way around a
mainly forested driving route between the banks of soda water lake and
the impressive rise of the Great Rift escarpment. Elephant, giraffe,
buffalo and wildebeest can be found grazing in unexpected clearings or
heading towards the water to drink or wash, and the rivers and riverbeds
provide scenic vistas for possible animal spottings.
Warthog seem to thrive here, growing notably fat and tuskered, and it is
a natural playground for baboons and monkeys. The tree-climbing lion of
Lake Manyara inspire extensive theorising as to the wonders of
evolution, and are also notoriously rarely seen.
Day 2 - After breakfast, depart
with picnic lunch for Serengeti
park game drives en route, dinner and overnight at
Seronera Camp Site/Lodge
This land is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife,
especially the big cats, as well as being the stomping ground of the
Great Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest,
200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles stretching their legs over 1,200
miles in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their
survival.
The National Park is broadly divided into three distinct areas, the
Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the Western Corridor and the
Northern Lobo area that extends northwards through the Lamai Wedge to
the Maasai Mara.
Most visitors enter the Serengeti through the southern Naabi Hill Gate,
which opens onto the Seronera Valley; a vibrant wildlife area at the
heart of the Serengeti.

Day 6 - After breakfast Serengeti park game drive, hot lunch at
camp, then drive to Ngorongoro with game drives en route, dinner and
overnight at Ngorongoro Lodge/Camp Site
Ngorongoro is a fascinating and unusual Conservation Area which includes
the Ngorongoro Crater at its centre, and then extends through the Crater
Highlands, in which local tribes are permitted to maintain their
traditional lifestyles in as natural environment as possible.
This extraordinary volcanic landscape is rich and fertile, with stunning
craters and lakes, and the high altitude creates a malaria-free micro
climate.
The crater is said to have the most dense concentration of wildlife in
Africa. As such, Ngorongoro Crater has achieved world renown, and
attracts a growing number of visitors each year. Even if time is limited
this natural but accessibly small caldera ensures a rewarding safari.
-The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact caldera in an
exceptional geographical position, forming a spectacular bowl of about
265 sq km with sides up to 600m deep. It is the stalking ground of 20 -
30,000 wild animals at any one time.
The crater floor consists of a number of ecological environments that
include grassland, swamps, forests and Lake Makat, a central soda lake
filled by the Munge river. All these various habitats attract various
wildlife to drink, wallow, graze, hide or climb.
-Although animals are free to move in and out of this contained
environment, the rich volcanic soil, lush forests and spring source
lakes on the crater floor tend to incline both grazers and predators to
remain throughout the year.
-Ngorongoro Crater is also presently one of the most likely areas in
Tanzania to see the endangered Black Rhino, as a small population are
thriving in this idyllic and protected environment one of the only areas
where they continue to breed in the wild.
-The Crater rim, over 2,200 metres high, touches swathes of clouds for
most days of the year, with cool high altitude vapours that seem to
bring a clean lightness to the air, and also a chill. These highlands
wake up to a misty fog in most months.
Day 7 - After breakfast descent into the Crater with picnic lunch
boxes for game drive,then 1500hrs drive back to Arusha town{drop off}
