here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles,
giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals,
wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the
natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions
of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of
water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the
savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures

of the world's greatest ornithological spectacles. Although Lake
Nakuru is primarily a bird sanctuary, there are a considerable
number of animals to be encountered, such as many large game animals
such as zebras, elephants and gazelles, this is one of our best
chances of seeing rhinos. Lake Nakuru National Park was the first
place in Kenya selected as a rhino reserve. Here is one of the few
places where we can see Rothschild's giraffes. Dinner and overnight
at Lake Nakuru guest house

stay.

Lake Manyara is a shallow, alkaline lake that is part of the Rift
Valley wall; the lake is at the base of this dramatic western
escarpment giving it a beautiful and serene setting. In addition to
this peaceful setting, Lake Manyara’s main attractions are its rich
bird life, tree climbing lions and its hippos, which you can see at
a closer range than many other places. Lake Manyara also hosts
thousands of flamingos at certain times of the year and has diverse
vegetation ranging from savannah, to marshes and acacia woodland,
enabling a variety of wildlife habitats including butterflies.

gazelle, impala, topi, Grants gazelle, Kongoni, Eland, Kirk’s dik
dik, klipspringer, roan, Oryx, oribi, waterbuck, buffalo, giraffe
and warthog), the Serengeti is sure to attract a string of prey such
as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, golden jackals and bat eared
foxes. Elephants are relatively scarce and the few remaining black
rhinoceros are restricted to the Moru Koppies area.
Serengeti also offers rewarding bird viewing with ostrich and kori

The Ngorongoro crater is the world’s biggest whole volcanic caldera
at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena. It is
frequently described as one of the wonders of the world, not only
because of its geological magnificence, but also because it serves
as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s largest
populations of large mammals.
