Tanzania Migration By World Journeys

Tanzania Migration By World Journeys

Experience the Great Migration on a exhilarating Tanzania migration safari where you will see one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Every year over 1.5 million animals, mostly wildebeest but also zebra and Thompson’s gazelle, follow their instincts and move through the western corridor on their 1000 km journey to the fresh grazing of the Masai Mara. Predators pick off the weak, the laggardly and the young and crocodiles feast as the vast herd crosses the rivers but they continue their trek, as they have done since time immemorial.

Visit the spectacular Tarangire National Park where animals flock to the Tarangire River and the vast swamps. Then visit the Ngorongoro Crater, an extinct volcano that collapsed in on itself around 25 million years ago where the largest permanent concentration of African game is on display. The views from the top of the crater wall are absolutely breathtaking! The crater walls are forested but four-wheel-drive vehicles will take you down into this primeval paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp and plain that shelters around 20,000 animals. Many of these are the large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle and zebra who depend on the open grasslands in the crater. These attract the attendant predators, the black-maned lion, the leopard and hyena.

Finish your safari with a visit to the Serengeti National Park, the southern end of the Great Migration. This is one of the earth’s great sights – but it is by no means all the Serengeti has to offer. The vast, flat central plains, are places of huge skies, of shimmering heat hazes, yet also of delicate wild flowers blooming after the rains. The savannah, sprinkled with Acacia Tortilis, has majestic termite mounds and rock formations called kopjes which make great vantage points for predators. The lion are abundant, the leopard are plentiful (yet still secretive) and black rhino and cheetah both breed here. Ndutu, in the south, has small lakes where you may see hippo and water birds. Perhaps one of the best ways to see the Serengeti is a hot air balloon ride when, in the cool of the early morning, you may admire the grandeur, the vastness and the stunning landscape.
