Know before you go
Our safari vehicles with thatched roofs for shade against the sunny African wilderness; the cars have extended body with roomy seats for comfortable sitting and stretching out legs. Every guest is accessible to a window seat. Cars are also fitted with fridges, power charge sockets, and VHF radio calls for easy and fast communication with the base office.
The Tarangire National Park, which has its own source of water, comes into its own in the dry season as birdlife congregates on the Tarangire River, and herds of giraffes, zebras, buffalos and, in particular, elephants can be seen. Predators such as lions and leopards are also regularly spotted here.
It is within this steep-sided ravine at Olduvai Gorge that Louis and Mary Leakey made some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries in the 1950s. Here, in a small museum, we are able to see evidence of our ancestors that have been dated back 2.5 million years.
The Serengeti National Park has vast plains, broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In December, January and February, you can witness the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard.
In Serengeti, you can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. Travel from the wide-open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals, and from the top, we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide you with the ultimate in game viewing. Witness all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions, and if you are lucky, the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of the interesting birdlife, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich.
Ngorongoro is a special place because it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.
