NATIONAL PARK After breakfast, depart to our private tented camp situated along the boundary of Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is the third biggest national park in Tanzania. An unusually large population of elephants inhabits this sanctuary. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. During the dry season from July to November, animals concentrate along Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. The area supports a great diversity of wildlife, including giraffe, buffalo, lesser kudu, eland, oryx and zebra. Lion, leopard and cheetah are also present. Up to 6.000 elephants inhabit Tarangire in the dry season. Tribe visits & walking in the areas neighboring the park, is offered to those who want a cultural touch.... Maasai live in the area. The man leading the walks is considered a medicine man and will explain the uses of plants. The
Datoga another tribe of semi-nomadic pastoralists
who migrated into this area looking for good
grazing land many decades ago, are interesting
people to visit.... They have so far resisted
neighbouring tribes' cultural infiltrations.The
women, still wearing locally fat treated goatskin
gowns, carve their faces and bodies to look
more pretty are usually seen. Learning about
their history is as fascinating as the views
are breathtaking from the several hilltop peaks
in the area. Day

- LAKE MANYARA - GIBB'S FARM After
breakfast we'll drive across the floor of the
Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara. The
lake situated along the impressive escarpment
of the Rift Valley, takes its name from the
Maasai word for "euphorbia tirucalli", a bush
which is used to make a thorny hedge to protect
their cattle. If we are lucky we may see the
Manyara lions, well known for their tree climbing
habits, lazily resting on the branches of an
"Acacia tortilis" tree. Elephants, hippos, giraffe,
buffalo and other animals are present in Manyara.
The birdlife is also very impressive with flamingoes,
pelicans, hornbills and plenty of forest species.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK The Serengeti is likely the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world. These seemingly unending plains contain, during the months of the migration huge numbers of wildebeest and zebra with estimates of upto 1.5 million. In February-March they concentrate at the Ndutu and Salei plains,where the calving season takes place, attracting the attention of predators like lion, cheetah and hyena. Another interesting feature in Serengeti are the "Kopjes", massive islands of granite standing in a sea of grass, which provide shelter to a great variety of plants and animals, from the elusive leopard to the tiny dik dik. We will spend three nights of full board accommodation at our private camp, set in one of the wilderness areas, depending on the season and movement of the animals. Campsites may include Barafu, Gol or Moru kopjes, Lobo Area, Seronera or the Western Corridor and are dependent on availablity. Day11
