Tanzania Revival 2023

Why visit Tanzania? Renown as one of the most intriguing destinations on earth, home to mankind, with an evolution that reaches into our existence and touches your soul. An African Safari immersed in nature the land comes alive with the sounds of wildlife, vibrant culture and charming characteristics.

Tranquil, unspoilt and untamed wilderness, Tanzania is very diverse with something new and different, day to night, month to month. Many awe inspiring highlights of Tanzania are best described, as Masai warriors who light up the night sky with a ceremonial hum of traditional singing and dancing. The migration herds of wildebeest thunder their way through the Serengeti, chasing the rains in search of greener grass.

On our hosted journey to Tanzania in March 2023 we focus on a photographic safari spending days and nights across two major national parks and the Ngorongoro Conservation area. With calving season well underway in Ndutu and the southern Serengeti National Park. We hope to capture a high concentration of migratory wildebeest, zebra and predator interaction.

Tarangire is one of Tanzania's most notable national parks. Featuring an array of wildlife, birdlife and the magnificent Baobab that has been in the park for centuries. One tree in particular playing a part in history as the poachers hide. The large distinctive features of the Baobab are simply amazing playing an important role today and aptly known as the Tree of Life. With its ability to hold volumes of water in the rainy season it is a great source of food in dry season for wildlife when the land is bare and barren.

The park is approx. 2600 square kilometres and has a variety of vegetation with swampy wetlands, dense woodlands, acacia trees and savannah grasslands. Migratory wildlife moves through the park in dry season taking advantage of the free flowing water of the Tarangire River. Once the wet season arrives the wildlife disperses as water sources are more prevalent in other areas. 

Elephant herds are immense with Tarangire National Park having the largest population in Tanzania. Other wildlife, and not limited to, include zebra, impala, giraffe, lion, leopard, wildebeest, cape buffalo and if you are lucky African Wild Dog. *Season dependant. 

The park has approx. 500 - 550 species of birdlife and a birding paradise for avid photographers. Species include Guinea Fowl, Hornbills, Kori bustards, Go away bird, Bee-eaters are just to name a few. Photography enthusiasts you won't be disappointed.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the worlds most historic sites, home to world largest extinct caldera and wildlife diversity. A UNESCO world heritage site the area's vegetation incorporates a range of thick dense highland forest on the crater rim before opening up to savannah plains and woodlands on the crater floor. Unique in its own right the area protects are range of different wildlife species. As one of the Seven Wonders of the world it is full of stunning landscapes and semi nomadic Masaai boma's display a way of culture and local crafts.

The wildlife ecosystem is one of the most concentrated in the world, in Green season the crater floor comes alive with wildebeest, zebra, elephant, lion, impala, buffalo and rhino. Some wildlife that are non-migratory will continue to stay year round but as the seasonal rains change and food is depleted majority of the wildlife moves back into the Serengeti.

This morning at a time to be advised we can depart from camp with a picnic breakfast. Exploring the crater floor we stop in a safe area to watch wildlife from a far. We also have the option to return to camp for a late lunch plus the option of a short afternoon walk and/ or sundowners behind camp, overlooking the Serengeti.
