flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short
rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after
the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct
to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them
back. The Wildebeest travel through a variety of parks, reserves and
protected areas and through a variety of habitat. Join us to explore the

It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the 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. Ngorongoro and other freestanding mountains are
volcanic in origin, formed during the fracturing process that created
the Rift valley 15 to 20 million years ago. When it peaked in size 3
million years ago it was a similar height to Mt. Kilimanjaro today
