Safari in Africa
Africa is blessed with countless wildlife destinations, but Tanzania remains a top choice for travelers. From Lake Manyara National Park safari experiences along the Manyara escarpment to the legendary Serengeti plains, this country offers unmatched biodiversity, big cat sightings, and cultural richness.
Serengeti National Park – Tanzania
The Serengeti National Park, which in the Masai language means “endless plain” (in fact the territory included in the park measures about 15,000 sq km in area), is the most important park in northern Tanzania and corresponds exactly to what you imagine when you think to the Savannah and the landscapes of the Lion King.
With its beautiful and picturesque acacia trees silhouetted against the horizon, lions resting on rounded rocks called Kopje, Serengeti is home to a considerable amount of wonderful animal species such as wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffes, at least 500 species of birds, etc.
The Serengeti was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1981 and is considered the eighth wonder of the world.
The Serengeti National Park every year around March-April becomes the scenario of the Great Migration that takes place among some of the most important parks in Tanzania.
It is a transhumance of animals (mostly wildebeests and zebras) that takes place every year in conjunction with the pressure exerted by the large herds on the pastures, following the rain cycle: the pastures are depleted and the herds have to move to look for new availability of food.
Ngorongoro Crater
Apparently isolated from the outside world, the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the wonders of the world, without a doubt one of the most beautiful places to see in Africa.
It is an extensive volcanic caldera populated by an incredible variety of animals: the Ngorongoro Crater is in fact located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and is the best place to observe the black rhinoceros.
The crater is located 2200 meters above sea level and measures more than 16km in diameter for an area of approximately 265 km2: it is the largest intact caldera in the world.
Another peculiarity that distinguishes the Ngorongoro Reserve is that the Masai tribe can live there and move freely within the park, which does not happen in any other park in Tanzania.
In addition to the Ngorongoro Crater, the reserve also includes two smaller craters (Olmoti and Empakaai), and the archaeological site of the Olduvai gorges, known as the Cradle of Humankind: in fact, here the remains of primitive men dating back to around 1.75 have been found. million years ago and various fossils of Stone Age ani
