Tanzania is truly the safari capital of the world; the word safari is actually Swahili - the native language of Tanzanians. While on a holiday in Tanzania it would be a sin to miss out on the breathtaking natural beauty and the awesome game viewing of the Serengeti. written by Vickie Milazzo

The Ngorongoro Crater is unique, many claims are made about destinations being unique when what is meant is unusual – however – Ngorongoro Crater is on its own and is truly unique. This collapsed crater contains many different habitats in a small area; and has year round water. This results in many animals living permanently in the crater. written by ian williamson

The great migration across the Serengeti plains is an annual – ongoing – event. Triggered off and following rains it is unpredictable; because the rains are notoriously late, early or even fail. The animals may fail to be in the part of the Serengeti you have book. You find yourself booked into a lodge to see this great marvel to find out it is a five hour drive at 20 km per hour along very bad roads… written by ian williamson
Over a million wildebeest move annually from the southern plains of the Serengeti, where they give birth, to the Maasai Mara in the north, and back, accompanied by Zebra and other migratory mammals.

If you want to listen at night to the song of the African bush with the occasional distant [or sometimes close] roar of a lion; if you want to open your tent in a morning to be greeted by Impala and Zebra grazing so close to your tent you could touch them; then choose one of these camps. If you want to be in a remote part of the park but close to the animals; if you want to stand in to open plains of the Serengeti and not be joined by a caravan of twenty other safari vehicles then the private camp is the option above the mere mass tourist lodge. written by ian williamson
The place to have the true out of Africa experience is Tanzania. It has the parks, it has the animals in huge numbers and it has the peace and security that no other African Country can offer. If you want a safari, a proper safari than Tanzania is the only real option. written by ian williamson
Tanzania is vast and there is much to see. In order to have the safari of a lifetime you must plan, you must dig a little and book wisely. If you leave everything up to some one else you may be disappointed. Left to themselves your travel agent, when book through the ground operator in Tanzania, may deliver a safari lacking imagination. You will be pushed through the same lodges, along the same routes as the rest of the madding crowd. written by ian williamson
The balloon flights leave in the early morning from the Serona Valley in the central Serengeti. This part of the Serengeti has good concentrations of animals year round; ensuring whenever you take your flight there will be plenty to see.

Kusini Camp is perfectly sited in a cluster of kopjes, Kusini is a permanent tented camp blended seamlessly into the delicate environment of the predator-rich plains of the Serengeti. The surrounding short grass plains provide the setting for the most spectacular natural phenomenon in the continent of Africa, the wildebeest migration, during which time the hordes amass around the camp for the birthing of their young written by ian williamson
There is so much more to the Serengeti than the Great Migration. These endless plains, contain valleys, hills and woodland as well as the open plains that seem to stretch out forever. Every time of year offering something different, something special. However, the Great Migration seems to be the only thing on the itinerary. The Serengeti is more than this single spectacular event and I urge you to take time to explore as much as you can in the Serengeti. This is important in Africa, to slow down and spend some time exploring; you will be well rewarded. written by ian williamson
