The Tanzania Tapestry

We start in Tarangire with its immense baobabs, acacias and mixed woodland punctuate the plains, whilst the Tarangire River and shrinking lagoons attract a variety of wildlife including wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands and oryx. The park also boasts a rich bird life, including a variety of raptors.

Beneath the cliffs of the Manyara escarpment this park offers a tapestry of woodland, grassland and swamps. The lush jungle-like forest is home to hundreds of baboons and blue monkeys. In contrast are the grassy floodplains and alkaline lake where thousands of pink flamingoes are found. In addition to the amazing birdlife, another reason to visit are the famous tree-climbing lion.

Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage site is a natural wonder and a world-class attraction for visitors to Tanzania. The collapsed volcano has created a crater, known as a caldera and is the main reason for visiting the area. The crater floor offers superb game viewing with wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, gazelles, elephants, rhinos and Africa’s big cats all present. Accommodation can be found on the ridge of the crater and further afield.

The Great Wildebeest Migration A natural phenomenon occurs annually across the vast plains of the Serengeti and into the Masai Mara in Kenya. Each year thousands and thousands of wildebeest and zebras make an epic journey in search of lush, grassy plains. Although the exact timings and route can change each year the migration follows a similar path, mainly determined by the rainfall.

In Ngorongoro and the Serengeti you are in prime position to see wildlife. Accommodation is hand-picked and includes Serengeti Migration Camp, a permanent luxury lodge. The lodge is located in the northern corridor of the park, on the main wildebeest migration route between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, along the bank of the Grumeti River. It is raised up on the side of an impressive kopje known as Poacher's Lookout, with broad views north over the undulating Serengeti hills and beyond to the plains of the Masai Mara.
