Day 5: Safari ends! Serengeti © john Moller This phenomenal National Park, created to preserve the path of the world’s largest migration circuit, covers nearly 15,000 km2. It provides an exceptional landscape for wildlife - and the ultimate safari experience.
Serengeti Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, part of the great southern Serengeti ecosystem, borders the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Far off the beaten track, guests have nearly fifty thousand acres to themselves!
Established to protect one of the more unique areas within the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, Mwiba Wildlife Reserve offers excellent game viewing year round. The Great Migration passes through here in the green season, and in the dry season you’ll see an abundance of animals gathering around the watering holes.
Mwiba Reserve Located in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, set among huge stone boulders, ancient coral trees and shady acacias, Mwiba Lodge is the newest addition to the Legendary Expeditions portfolio. Mwiba Lodge Eight exquisite suites, with elegant decor combining traditional and modern elements, have given ‘bush luxury’ a whole new meaning. The suites have their own spacious lounge decks with sprawling views over the African wilderness. As part of the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, Mwiba provides an unmatched safari experience with extraordinary game viewing and rich cultural interactions. Close to the Kenyan border within the Gregory Rift Valley lies Lake Natron, one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds on earth.
Its alkaline waters are often bright red in colour, due to the salt-loving micro- organisms that thrive here.
Caustic and forbidding in nature, Lake Natron is strikingly fascinating, and a spectacle worth experiencing. L a k e Natron

Unique in that it is the only known active volcano to erupt natrocarbonatite (sodium-rich) lava. Its lava fountains harden midair, then shatter like glass.
Ol Doinyo Lengao rises majestically about 2,000 meters from the East Africa Rift Valley depression to a summit elevation of 2,890 meters.
Ol Doinyo Lengai Burunge is located between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks in Northern Tanzania. This wildlife corridor is of high conservational significance, with game passing through year round.
On the plains, lions and cheetah make for exciting game viewing. Herds of elephant and buffalo roam through the corridor, and in the dense woodlands in the inner part of the concession, leopards, eland and lesser kudu can be seen.

Chem Chem Lodge Chem Chem has eight tented cottages, created from canvas, lava-stones and wood. Blended perfectly with the natural environment, each tent has an outdoor shower and wooden deck where you can watch the African sunset. Chem Chem has a spacious central main house, surrounded by natural bush, overlooking the Great Rift Escarpment and Lake Manyara National Park. The pool is hidden in the trees and is a welcome escape from the afternoon heat. Stretching for 50km along the base of the vast Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem offering a wilderness experience in diverse habitats.
Its alkaline waters attract over 400 species of birds, the most prolific are pink flamingos that flock here in thousands, and its acacia woodland is a haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions.
L a k e M a n y a ra © Chem Chem Lodge On the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe - the Hadza. They live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years, hunting baboons, birds, antelope and buffalo with hand-made bows and arrows, in a hot desolate landscape. Their language, Hadzane, is rhythmic and punctuated by clicks, and believed to be the oldest still spoken. About one thousand Hadza still live in caves, and no laws, taxes and or money is of relevance to them.
