NGORONGORO NATIONAL PARK

 

There are few places on earth quite like this park. It houses the “Big 5” animals, deep volcanic craters, and is home to the semi-nomadic Maasai people. The most well-known crater in Africa, the Ngorongoro Crater, is one of the largest of its kind and a true marvel to behold. The landscape consists of a mix of lakes, grasslands, swamps and wooded areas where domesticated Maasai livestock graze beside wild animals.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

As Tanzania’s largest and most iconic national park, the  Serengeti National Park  is one of the best places in Africa for wildlife viewing. It’s one of the  Seven Natural Wonders of Africa , and a bucket list destination for many travellers and safari enthusiasts. Located in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti is one of the most complex ecosystems on the planet, stretching to the Masai Mara in  Kenya  to form the mighty Mara-Serengeti ecosystem. The climate, plants and animals of this region have barely changed over the past one million years, making it also one of the oldest and least disturbed ecosystems on earth. The Serengeti National Park is also host to the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle - the Great Migration. Every year, beginning around July, over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and antelope move in a thundering mass from the Serengeti to the   Masai Mara , in search of greener pastures.
