DAY 4 Full-Day Ngorongoro Crater Tour
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro Crater, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978, is a
geological spectacle.
The 260 square kilometre caldera was formed three million years ago
when an active volcano exploded. The mineral-rich pastures of the largely
flat crater floor have turned this into a wildlife haven. Over 25,000 large
mammals call the area home, many of whom are endangered, such as the
black rhino and wild dog. Lake Magadi, (not to be confused with the lake
of the same name in Kenya) which sits in the middle of the crater floor
contains alkaline soda water inhabited by blue-green algae. Flamingo and
a number of other bird species feed off the algae and congregate in large
numbers. Along the shores of the lake, Lerai Forest, a dense yellow fever
woodland is frequented by a healthy population of leopard.
DAY 5 – 7 JANUARY TO MARCH Sanctuary Kusini
Serengeti National Park, Southern Serengeti
Set on a rocky outcrop, or kopje, Sanctuary Kusini overlooks the predatorpopulated plains of the vast southern Serengeti.
Twelve classic tents, all with terraces, overlook the plains where zebras,
cape buffalo, wildebeest, lions and leopards are a common sight all year
round. Discover the Southern Serengeti on day game drives and guided
walking safaris, or experience the vast night sky on a cosmic safari.
