The Serengeti Migration

Lake Manyara | Tarangire

Day 2 Tarangire Area – Lake Manyara National Park Today you will visit the small but beautiful Lake Manyara National Park. A large area of the park is covered by the alkaline Lake Manyara, which is home to colonies of flamingos and other water birds. Apart from giraffes, hippos, wildebeests and impalas on the grassy plains, you might see lions lounging in the trees and elephants feeding on the acacias in the woodlands. While the forest near the lake is filled with noisy troops of blue monkeys, extended baboon families hang around the roads. In the afternoon, you will make your way to the Kirurumu Manyara Lodge. Set high on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the lodge offers fantastic views. Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Serengeti

Day 4 Serengeti National Park The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you will visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are to be found. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration depends upon the yearly rains, the location of the herds might vary from year to year but your guide will know where to see them best. You will spend another night at the Kati Kati Tented Camp Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner
