Moving Around the Serengeti Following the Migration
Over a million wildebeest move annually from the southern plains of the Serengeti, where they give birth, to the Maasai Mara in the north, and back, accompanied by Zebra and other migratory mammals. Lion, cheetah, hyena, hunting dog and crocodiles make sure only the strongest and the lucky survive.

The Western Kilimanjaro Pass from Tanzania into Kenya
That evening as the sun waned we drove to the top of a large hill just outside the camp. We watched the sun begin to set then the clouds cleared around Kilimanjaro and the snows were turned pink with the setting sun, and bellow the acacia trees were silhouetted as the dusk seemed to rise from the ground upward. Then as I though it gets no better than this the Maasai from the lodge came dancing and singing up the hill they brought champagne as this was to be my last evening. We toasted a most enjoyable stay and the staff and Philemon sang Maasai songs and danced into the early evening. If ever I was in Africa proper it was this evening. Not a tourist or car in sight, Kilimanjaro and local Maasai, words cannot express the emotions of that evening; you cannot have a more African experience than to spend some time in this luxury, eco friendly camp.

Responsible Tourism and the Tourist in Tanzania
Responsible Tourism in Tanzania has become a marketing tool for the safari industry. The welfare of our communities may, at times, be of genuine concern to the safari company although, sadly, many times it is not. Can you, the traveler, do anything toward changing the safari companies to support responsible tourism Indeed, yes it is possible to make a difference. Responsible Tourism should give back to the community and you the tourist can and should change the industry; it is your money after all.

Animals of Tanzania: The Selous, the Buffalo and the Gnu
This huge reserve has high concentration of animals and a low concentration of tourists. Animals such as lion and leopard and elephant are present in huge concentrations. This is also true of the hoofed animal; the buffalo population stands in excess of 110,000. Waking in a morning, in your tented camp, to witness hundreds of buffalo and gnu coming to drink water from the Rufiji River is one reason among many to make Tanzania you safari destination.

Lodge Safaris in Tanzania
If you want to listen at night to the song of the African bush with the occasional distant or sometimes close roar of a lion; if you want to open your tent in a morning to be greeted by Impala and Zebra grazing so close to your tent you could touch them; then choose one of these camps. If you want to be in a remote part of the park but close to the animals; if you want to stand in to open plains of the Serengeti and not be joined by a caravan of twenty other safari vehicles then the private camp is the option above the mere mass tourist lodge.

Oldonyo Lengai. Ngorongoro Crater and Beyond
Ngorongoro Crater is a huge draw for many tourists that embark on a Tanzanian Safari. It is an amazing place to visit. Numbers of tourists have increased with every passing year and because of this restrictions are being introduced, from January 2006, in order to preserve this remarkable destination. Tanzania is a outstanding place to visit and although many people come to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater there are many other places that remain undiscovered and can be visited for a safari experience that only Tanzania can deliver.
