Squadrons of banded mongoose dart between the acacias, whereas the diminutive Kirk’s dik-dik forage in their shade. Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, and it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. Established in 1952, it is home to the great migration of wildebeest and zebra. The resident population of lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and birds is also impressive.

The Park can be divided into 3 sections: The southern/central part (Seronera Valley) with its classic savannah dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River,and has more forests and dense bush. The north meets up with Kenya’s Maasai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section.

It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous - over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. During the months of July-September the herds will cross the Mara River again and again in search of fresh grass. They will have to face the mighty crocodiles in the river, who are waiting quietly in the water for their opportunity.

Serengeti is also known as the “endless plains” in the Maasai language

They are known for their welcoming dances where the man sings and jumps as high as possible with straight legs, to show how fit and strong they are. The woman stands at the side, singing with the man and doing a special dance for women only.

The Masai believe that all the cows in the world belong to them and were given to them by god. The wealth of a family is majored by the number of cows they own. The Masai tribe live in villages (Manyata) and each woman builds a small house (Boma) for her family. The bomb’s structure is made of wood and it is covered by a mixer of mud, wood and sticks, grass, cow dung, human urine, and ash. Traditionally, men wear sheets wrapped around the body. Usually, the main color is red but you can see some blue colors and a paid pattern. Men and women wear ornaments made of colorful beads.
