Tour overview
The breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater is undoubtedly the centerpiece of a Classic Tanzania Holiday. There are plenty of hippos around the lovely Ngoitoktok Springs picnic site, and Lake Magadi attracts flocks of flamingos to its shallows in the rainy season. The Serengeti is also a must see for anyone wanting to go on safari as the park boasts with different landscapes in addition to being home to over three million animals. The shores of Lake Manyara, encrusted with pink flamingo, attract more than 400 species of birds, many of them waterfowl or migrants. Lake Manyara is a fascinating experience, as the park also features a ground-water forest, acacia tortilis woodland and hot springs called Maji Moto.
