Tanzania - The Breeding of the Great Migration
The Breeding of the Great Migration
The most special time to go on safari in Tanzania: when the great migration and the rest of the wild fauna have their young.
A phenomenon that takes place in the first months of the year, between January and April. The great migration is located in the south of the Serengeti, where the vegetation is very green thanks to the rains that have fallen weeks before.
We will make a circular route where we will get to know the remote area of Lake Natron with the Maasai settlement, the exciting Serengeti National Park (center and south) and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Ndutu and the crater)
An 8-day journey where thousands of nyus and zebras give birth to the next generation. In addition, it is also a time of year with less influx of visitors.

Arribada a Tanzània
Recollida a l’aeroport del Kilimanjaro per un representant de Watatu Travel (entre 7 i 9 del matí) i trasllat a l’allotjament (1h 30 aprox). Al migdia, dinarem en una comunitat local on les mames ens cuinaran menjar tradicional com ara l’arròs pilau, varis tipus de sopa, verdura fresca, fruita variada i també carn a la barbacoa. D’aquesta manera tenim un contacte directe amb la gent local i així ens anem coneixent amb la resta del grup.
En route to Lake Natron
We will start our adventure leaving behind the city of Arusha and heading to one of the places that has marked us the most: Lake Natron (6-7 h approx.). To get there we will cross volcanic landscapes, traditional villages and areas with wild fauna such as giraffes, nymphs and antelopes. As we advance, the landscape will become more untamed, until we see on the horizon the Ol Doinyo Lengai, the sacred mountain of the Maasai. Once we arrive, we will leave our bags at the lodge and our Maasai guide will take us to the “secret rock”. There, in front of the lake and surrounded by animals, we will experience a spectacular sunset.
Natron Lake Activity Day: Maasai Culture
With our Maasai guide we will explore the area to see the largest colony of flamingos in Africa. Among the Maasai stories of past centuries, we will discover the waterfalls of the area and the fauna that inhabits it: giraffes, wildebeests and zebras are usual suspects. In the afternoon, we will carry out the activity “Jewels of the Maasai Land”: a workshop taught by Maasai women in which we will learn their ancestral jewelry techniques. With their help, we will create our own jewel — a memory for a lifetime. Afterwards, we will return to the lodge to relax, enjoy a swim in the pool and once again marvel at another unforgettable sunset.
En ruta cap al Serengeti a través de Klein's Gate i safari a la tarda
Aquest serà un dia difícil d’oblidar. Ben d’hora al matí deixarem enrere el llac Natron i posarem rumb al Parc Nacional del Serengeti (5 h). Després de travessar les remotes terres de Loliondo, arribarem a Klein’s Gate i, finalment, entrarem al parc per fer el nostre primer safari. Des del nord cap al sud contemplarem la bellesa de la sabana africana i buscarem els nostres primers felins. Al vespre arribarem al nostre lodge, situat al cor del Serengeti, soparem i ens reunirem al voltant del foc per sentir els sons de la sabana. No és extrany sentir elefants, lleons i altres animals. Un espectacle nocturn únic que no ens podem perdre.
Dia complet de safari al Serengeti
Avui dedicarem el dia sencer al “Millor safari del món”. Durant la jornada, descobrirem la gran varietat d’aus, rèptils i mamífers que habiten al parc: nyus, zebres i diferents espècies d’antílops. Amb l’ajuda dels nostres guies, aprendrem a rastrejar els felins més famosos del planeta: lleons, guepards i lleopards. Un dia increïble que dividirem en dues sortides: una de 6 a 12 del matí i una altra de 4 a 6 de la tarda, els moments en què els animals estan més actius. Entre totes dues sortides, descansarem i dinarem al lodge.
Safari a Ndutu, al sud del Serengeti
A primera hora del matí, iniciarem un safari en ruta cap al sud del Serengeti. Sortirem del Serengeti i arribarem a la zona de conservació del Ngorongoro per presenciar amb els nostres propis ulls “El miracle de Ndutu”: milers de nyus, zebres i impales ens esperen donant a llum les seves cries. Amb el naixement de les cries, podrem observar depredadors aguaitant, un espectacle natural únic al planeta. Passarem la nit al mobile camp de Ndutu, envoltats de milers d'animals.
Safari al cràter del Ngorongoro
A primera hora del matí, iniciarem un safari cap el cráter del Ngorongoro. Pel camí, travessarem paisatges impressionants i tindrem noves oportunitats per observar la fauna en el seu hàbitat natural. Cap al migdia (12:00h-13:00h), baixarem als 600 metres de profunditat del cràter del Ngorongoro per gaudir d'aquest ecosistema únic, considerat una de les millors reserves de vida salvatge del món. Malgrat que sembli impossible, és precisament aquí on podem veure els cinc grans (lleó, elefant, búfal, lleopard i rinoceront). Sortirem de l’Àrea de Conservació i passarem la nit al nostre lodge envoltats, d’un entorn espectacular.
Plantacions a Mto Wa Mbu i trasllat a l'aeroport
Després d’uns dies molt intensos, avui començarem la jornada d’una manera més tranquil·la. Esmorzarem i farem l’activitat “Terra d’agricultors”. A Mto Wa Mbu tindrem l’oportunitat de conèixer les plantacions de plàtan de la zona. Tastarem la gastronomia de la regió i entendrem la importància d’aquest cultiu per als camperols i per a l’economia local. I encara que costi de creure, l’aventura arriba al seu final. Farem el trasllat cap a l’aeroport de Kilimanjaro.
The Serengeti National Park is one of the largest and most important parks in Africa, with an area of approximately 30,000 km2. It has a wide variety of ecosystems, from endless plains to hills and scattered forests, which makes it a very diverse habitat to host a lot of wildlife. It is famous for being the scene of the great annual migration, where millions of nyus and zebras roam the Serengeti in search of fresh pastures and rains.
Tarangire is one of the most important National Parks in northern Tanzania, known for its large elephant population and diverse fauna. The park is characterized by its centuries-old baobabs, seasonal swamps and the Tarangire River, which attracts a wide variety of animals during the dry season as it is of perennial water (there is always water).
This ancient volcanic crater is home to a large concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, rhinos and giraffes, as well as a spectacular landscape of meadows, lakes and forests. Without a doubt, one of the essentials to visit while making a safari in Tanzania.
Lake Natron is a place of incredible natural beauty, with waters of a vibrant red due to its high concentration of salt and microorganisms, which reflect the sky at sunset. It is a sanctuary for flamingos, who gather on its shores to nest and feed. In this remote area, away from tourism, you can get to know the Maasai culture in the nearby settlements and enjoy the surreal views of the active Ol Donyo Lengai volcano and the Rift Valley.
Ndutu is located just south of the Serengeti and becomes a vibrant scene during the Great Migration, especially during the first months of the year, where thousands of herbivores have their young and feed on green, fresh pastures.
Locally owned and family run accommodation located in the heart of Arusha. It was the first B&B in the city and is an excellent accommodation to rest with gardens to stroll through.
Africa Safari Lake Natron is a luxury safari retreat located in the Lake Natron area that offers unique landscapes and spectacular views of the Rift Valley and East Africa's only active volcano, Ol Donyo Lengai.
This classic, eco-friendly tent camp is located in the heart of the Serengeti and offers some of the best panoramic views in the park. Each tent is fully equipped with African decorations and styles.
Tanzania Bush Mobile Camp is located in the Ndutu Big Marsh area, the southern part of the Serengeti ecosystem. The tented camp have all the comforts to guarantee you a comfortable night.
