Ngorongoro
Crater
The
Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most spectacular wildlife
settings in the world. It is one hundred square miles,
with permanent springs on its sides and a soda lake
in the middle. There will be large concentrations of
wildlife here. The lodges are situated on the crater
rim all with stunning views.
Serengeti
National Park
There are opportunities here for camping as
well as lodge stays in a number of different places.
The Serengeti speaks for itself with its concentrations
of plains wildlife and big cats. However, it is seasonal
as the vast open plains become like a desert in the
dry season. Different recommendations will be made
for travel at different times of year.
Olivers
Camp - Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is studded with the magnificent
baobab trees and is excellent for a great diversity
of wildlife. This permanent camp, consisting of only
six tents, is situated just outside the park and has
easy access to the park as well as having a large
concession area of its own. Being outside the park,
there is the added advantage of being able to go for
hikes as well as night drives.
Sand
Rivers - Selous Game Reserve
The
Selous Game Reserve is the largest protected track
of raw wilderness in Africa, home to the continents
greatest populations of elephant, buffalo, hippos,
crocodile and one of the world's last remaining wild
dog and black rhino. Tucked into the banks of the
Rufiji River, Sand Rivers is the most remote and luxurious
lodge in the Reserve, with a unique style that gives
you absolute flexibility as to how you spend your
days. But whether you choose to walk, boat or drive,
your days will be full of the glorious and varied
landscapes that make this is a unique and wild place.
Mahale
Mountains - Lake Tanganyika
The Mahale
Mountains rise from the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika
- the world's longest and least explored lake - a
450 mile stretch of clear, gin-blue water running
down the heart of Africa. The mountains are truly
remote, 120 miles from the nearest road and only accessible
by boat. The tropical rainforest that covers the slopes
of the mountains is home to the largest group of free-living
chimpanzees in the world. As well as chimpanzees,
the Mahale Forest has 8 other species of primate as
well as bushbuck, warthog, buffalo, bushpig, bushtailed
porcupine, suikers, civet and genet cats. Hiking into
these mountains can be quite strenuous at times.
Katavi
Here we will be the only human presence for
miles and miles. There are no other tourists, in a
million acres of National Park. The main camp sits
on the wide floodplains of Chada, a mecca for game:
hippos in the hundreds, and whilst the crocodile are
more circumspect so numerous they can't hide. And
ranging across the spaces are the largest herds of
wild cape buffalo you will probably ever see, shadowed
closely by lion, hyena and leopard. |
