Great Migration in the region

At the end of December, the Great Migration usually arrives in Ndutu with around 2 million animals. Wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles gather here to give birth and remain in the area until April. From December to March, thousands of calves are born each day. The grass is rich in nutrients for young animals, and its short length allows adults to spot predators from a distance. This makes Ndutu a safe place for young zebras and wildebeests to grow. Ndutu is a scenic region with high wildlife density. The calving season attracts many predators to the open plains, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and large numbers of wild dogs!

Saadani is a national park that is often overlooked. Its location is special because it is on the coast, because it is the only national park where you can combine an adventure safari with a relaxing stay at beautiful white beaches with many palm trees. It is allowing you to observe wildlife in a unique environment. Saadani is the only national park on the coast of East Africa. It is where the beach meets the bush – the only wildlife sanctuary in East Africa to boast an Indian Ocean beachfront.

It as well possesses all the attributes that make Tanzania’s tropical coastline and islands very popular with European sun-worshipers. Yet it is also the one place where those idle hours of sunbathing might be interrupted by an elephant strolling past. Or a lion coming to drink at the nearby waterhole! It offers a variety of landscapes: mangroves, large coral reefs, sea and beach with many palm trees, savannah and cotton fields.

Lake Eyasi is a seasonal shallow endorheic salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. It is in northern Tanzania, south of the Ngorongoro highlands. You will have plenty of time to enjoy this tranquil environment and to absorb its natural setting. This large lake lays hight above sea level. In contrast to the savannah and arid plains of  northern national parks, Lake Eyasi offers tall palm trees along its shores.
