Background Information of the 3 Days Tanzania safari

Lake Manyara National Park: Lake Manyara

This is a protected area in Tanzania’s Arusha and Manyara regions. Situated between Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley. It is administered by the Tanzanian National Park Authority, and covers areas of 322 km (125 sq. mi), including about 230 km (89 sq. mi) of lake surface.

More than 350 bird species have been observed on this lake. Since 1920, the Lake Manyara area has been used for sports hunting. In 195, a game reserve was established.

In 1960, it was given a National Park status, and in 1974, about 550 ha (1,400 acres) were added to the southern end. The majority of the land area of the park is a narrow strip running between the Gregory Rift wall to the west and Lake Manyara, an alkaline lake

Ngorongoro Conservation Area: The Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater (260km2) is the most densely populated area in the world. There are an estimated 25,000 animals on the crater floor, including the big five. The rim of the crater is about 600 meters above the crater floor, in the middle of which is Salt Lake.

At night, herds of zebras and elephants climb the edge of the crater, and in daytime, the Maasai herds their cows and goats down into the crater, allowing them to graze on the green crater floor.

Olduvai Gorge

Running 45 kilometres along the rift valley between Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, this gorge is named after the Maasai word for the wild sisal plant.

Often referred to as “the cradle of humankind”, East Africa is one of the most important anthropological areas in the world.

Louis and Mary Leakey began searching for evidence of early humans in the 1950s, and in 1974, the well-preserved skeleton of Lucy was discovered and has since retained the fame as the oldest human ever found
