Tanzania
Tanzania may be the place where humanity began. There is evidence
here of mans earliest attempts at walking with an upright gait.
Tanzania's weather is under the influence of the monsoon winds
and the month of July has the ideal weather conditions. The
beautiful and un-crowded tropical coast of Tanzania is very
enticing to visitors even today, making a beach holiday in Tanzania
an ideal choice for many travelers. The greatest show on earth,
the annual wildebeest migration, originates from this beautiful
country. The wildebeests, in their millions, leave their natural
habitat, in Serengeti, Tanzania and head north-west into Kenya
looking for pasture and water. The wildebeest migration is one
of the most watched annual natural phenomenon in the world.
Tanzania has comfortable weather and excellent year-round wildlife
viewing
At Circle K Safaris, we have the depth, and
breadth of experience that will guarantee you the most memorable
safari to Tanzania. We have made it our business to know each
and every interesting destination in Tanzania, so you may
experience it first hand.

Serengeti
National Park
The Serengeti is Tanzania's first national park and remains
the flagship of the country’s tourism industry, providing
a major draw to the “Northern Safari Circuit”,
encompassing Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha national parks,
as well as Ngorongoro Conservation Area
This park
is approximately 14,763 sq. km (5,700 sq. mi) and has the
most spectacular gathering of wildlife in the world. The Serengeti
National Park contains millions of animals and birds in four
distinct areas; open plains in the south, savanna with acacia
tress in the center, hilly wooded grasslands in the north,
and extensive woodland and clay plains in the west. It's in
the Serengeti where the greatest wildlife show on earth takes
place each year around June. At the end of the rainy season,
normally around June, approximately 2 million wildebeests
head north-west into Kenya on their annual migration. Tens
of thousands of other plains game like gazelles, antelopes,
and zebras accompany the wildebeests in this migration. Not
far behind will be lurking the predators, led by the lion
and other carnivores. There is plenty of easy food for them
along the long migration route!
The grass
plains contain a large number of gazelles, topi, buffalo,
and zebras. Countless warthog families abound in the Serengeti.
For a memorable safari into the Serengeti, please contact
us and we will be proud to put together a holiday of a
life time for you. |

Selous
Game Reserve
The Selous (pronounced “Seloo”), is the largest
uninhabited protected game area in Africa. A Selous safari is
guaranteed to give you a taste of totally wild unspoiled African
bush,  in
an area twice the size of Belgium. It is said to contain the
largest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania! People rave about
this World Heritage Site. Selous has literally thousands of
elephants and approximately one third of all the wild dogs,
(or 'painted wolves' if their Latin name is translated), left
in the world. These amazing dogs live in a highly co-operative
pack, which makes them formidable hunters. Their need to roam
vast areas is satisfied in the boundless woodlands and undulating
savannah of Selous.
The lifeblood of the Selous is the Rufiji River with tributaries
that form a network of lakes, lagoons and channels. These water
sources attract an array of antelopes and predators such as
lions and leopards, and contain plenty of crocodiles and hippos.
Black and white colobus monkeys live in the riverine forests
and splendidly horned sable and kudu antelopes graze in the
shadowy shrub lands. A boat on the Rufiji River is the perfect
vehicle from which to watch game, especially during the thirsty
dry season months of June to October when many animals are drawn
to the water.
At this time the ancient migratory routes linking the Selous
and Mozambique's Niassa Game Reserves are used by massive amounts
of elephants. The last consensus estimated that over 50,000 elephants
roam the two parks, with 80% on the Tanzanian side. It is estimated
that more than a million animals inhabit the area. Highly recommended. |
