National Parks
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is made up of low-lying, rolling hills, natural vegetation of acacia woodland and giant baobabs
altered by huge areas of swamp. The swamps
of black cotton mud produce rich grasslands, while the watercourses are lined by huge trees including sycamore fig, tamarind and sausage trees. Tarangire features some of the greatest concentrations of game
in Tanzania, second only to the Ngorongoro crater but with far fewer tourists. There are several dry-country species such as eland, oryx, Grant’s gazelle and gerenuk. These are unlikely to be seen in the bigger parks to the west. Birdlife is plentiful
all year round, but bird watching is at its best when the European and North African migratory birds are present (November to April). Nesting among the resident birds takes place during the same time.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera
and is regarded as the 8th wonder of the world. It is one of the most diverse and fascinating areas of Tanzania and has been given the status of a World heritage site and International Biosphere Reserve. The fertile slopes and steep forest-covered walls are home to approximately 30,000 animals including the rare black rhino. The various ecosystems found within the 260 square kilometre
crater floor sustain Cape buffalo, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, elands, gazelles, hippos, numerous bird species as well as a high concentration of predators. Although birdlife is generally good throughout the year, from November to April, migratory birds
from Europe and Northern Africa are present and many resident birds are in breeding plumage.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti’s endless plains is a UNESCO World Heritage Site
and is patrolled by Africa’s big cats, elephants, buffaloes, gazelles and giraffes and is perhaps most famous for the migration of animals. The principle players are the wildebeest, whose numbers appear to have increased to about 2 million. In addition, about 250,000 zebras
make the seasonal journey to fresh pastures, first to the north, then the south after the rains. Their ancient instinct to move is so strong that no drought, gorge or crocodile-infested river can hold them back. In February the wildebeest cows drop their young in a synchronized birthing that sees some 300 000 to 400 000 calves born
within two to three weeks.
Bird watching in the Serengeti is good all year round, at its very best from November to April. This is when European and North African migratory birds are present for resident species.
