Ngorongoro Crater 


From the main entrance in the south, Ngorongoro Crater is reached en-route a steep climb through mist and fog.  On reaching the rim of the crater, the mist and fog suddenly break and the Ngorongoro grass carpeted floor and bathed in sunshine appears like a host heaven six hundred meters below the floor of the Ngorongoro crater which is 265 square kilometers and 16 kilometers in radius is home to nearly 25,000 large resident mammals.
Visitor to Ngorongoro can enjoy walking around the area.  Long walking safaris and short likes are both adventurous and rewarding.  Within the Ngorongoro conservation area there are “cultural bomas” where tourists can learn more about the customs and traditions of the famous Maasai, a pastoral tribe that was allowed to head their cattle within the protected area.
Ngorongoro can be accessed by Air and road there are lodges situated on the rim to the crater and tented camps nearby also available are campsites at designated areas around the rim and guest houses at Karatu township near the gate.

 ABOUT NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA. 

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a huge area containing active volcanoes, mountains, archeological sites, rolling plains, forests, lakes, and dunes and of course, Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge. The views at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater are sensational. On the crater floor, grassland blends into swamps, lakes, rivers, woodland and mountains - all a heaven for wildlife, including the densest predator population in Africa. The crater is home to up to 25,000 large mammals, mainly grazers - gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and warthog. You will not find giraffe, as there is not much to eat at tree level, or tope, because the competition with wildebeest is not too fierce, nor will you find impala. The crater elephants are strangely, mainly bulls. There are a small number of black rhinos here too. The bird life is largely seasonal and is also affected by the ratio of soda to fresh water in Lake Magadi on the crater floor.

Lake Manyara National Park.

Hemingway describes Lake Manyara National Park's magnificent hunting country in "The Green Hills of Africa". Mahogany, sausage tree and croton are alive with blue monkeys and velvets. Elephants feed off fallen fruit while bushbuck, waterbuck, baboons, aardvark, civet, the shy pangolin and leopard as well as the black rhino; all make their home in the forest.
Manyara is sanctuary to elusive buffalo and hippo, giraffe, impala, zebra and the famous residents - tree-climbing lions.
Lake Manyara itself is a magnet for bird life and a kaleidoscope of different species can be found around its shores, including huge flocks of flamingoes. The park is ideal for a day trip. A four-wheel drive is recommended during the rains. The dry season is from June to September and January to February.

Kilimanjaro National Park.

The climax of this adventurous journey will, for a change, not be ''Out of Africa'' but ''On Top of Africa''. We offer you not only a two day safari to the eighth wonder of the world Ngorongoro Crater, but also a trip up to the world's most famous mountain Mount Kilimanjaro.
This fascinating mountain makes you believe that you are facing the highest mountain in the world, as it rises, lonely and majestic, from a high plateau of 1600, metres and yet this long extinguished volcano reaches an altitude of ''only'' 5895 metres.
Any person determined to climb this mountain, 300 kilometres south of the equator, is apt to be laughed at by family friends. Yet, during the high season more that 50 climbers daily set out for this most wonderful hiking trip. The different zones of vegetation are most impressive. You start at an altitude of 1700m and pass through a tropical rain forest (no unwanted encounters with wild animals to be feared). At 3000m you cross a highland marsh with its fantastic flora. Lobelia can be seen and giant groundswells, which are believed to be hundreds of years old.
Above 4000 metres you pass a high alpine desert. At the peak, the successful climber is rewarded by the sight of the most marvelous ice formations, unforgettable for the rest of his life. Well-kept paths (no mountain climbing), experienced local guides, porters who carry all your luggage, a well -balanced diet, mountain huts at 2700 and 3700 metres combined with a good physical fitness, help you to tackle this five day hike without problems. Obviously, there is no way in Europe to test your body's reaction to the thin air at altitude over 4,500m. Adequate behaviors during the ascent, however, helps to increase the chance of successfully reaching the peak.

Real Wild Explores have taken several groups to Mount Kilimanjaro during the past few years. Their experience shows that age does not play an important role for successfully reaching the top. Some 20 years - olds face greater problems than 70 year - olds. What matter is your attitude towards the whole undertaking and, of course, your physical fitness.
