your breakfast at the lodge. Check into Serengeti heritage camp in the evening to
have dinner and spend the night. A million wildebeest, each driven by the same
ancient rhythm and playing its instinctive part in the unavoidable cycle of life: a
frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest
as 40km (25mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the
annual exodus north; and replenishing the species in a brief population explosion
that produces more than 8,000 calves per day before the 1,000km (600mile)

crowning achievement of the park. The Ngorongoro Crater, which is about 20 km
across, 600 m deep, and 300 km2 in size, is a breathtaking natural wonder. One
of the main features of the crater is the large but shallow alkaline lake known as
Lake Magadi, which we will visit. Hippos, flamingos, and other water birds are
frequently spotted here.

about Tanzania's birdlife is Manyara. Even a first-time traveler to Africa may
expect to see 100 of the more than 400 species that have been documented
there in a single day. The famed tree-climbing lions of Manyara and the
impressively tusked elephants of the park prefer to hang out in a narrow band of
acacia woodland that extends inland from the floodplain.
