is a soda lake on the floor of the rift valley. The sight
of the at times millions of flamingos is quite spectacular.

warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard,

wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search

the night in a quiet town on the shores of the immense Lake
Victoria known as Musoma. The surrounding countryside is

You can visit the park all year round but there is less
game in the park during the dry season – July /October,
where they migrate to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. During March
to May the herds move in search of grazing to the southern
section and in May to June, they move towards the western
corridor of the park. Serengeti in the low season will still
offer game viewing to match that of any park in Africa,
and for some, the fact that there will be fewer tourists
may be an added bonus. Overnight stay at a lodge

world, not only because of its geological magnificence,
but also because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary
for some of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals.
